This embroidery uses a running stitch with overlaps of colour across the whole collection palette. A statement design, Ikigai is very organic in its form, full of detail and visual intrigue. Ikigai, in Japanese, means `a reason to live` and comes from the concept of living with purpose and joy. This embroidery exemplifies the mindfulness of this craft and the joy that comes from such a full design.

The Harlequin x Henry Holland fabric and wallpaper collection was designed in collaboration with British designer and ceramicist, Henry Holland.
