ilovespoon

Painter and embroiderer Naomi Avsec launched ilovespoon in 2004 to create unique pieces for her dream-like embroidery designs.

ilovespoon marries a love of illustration and embroidery with a skillful style to create beautiful and inspiring one-off designs. Each piece is individually embroidered freehand without an outline, allowing imagination to shape each piece. With recurring themes including nature, animals, love and sex, Naomi's designs have an energy and personality rare to textiles.

2007 and 2008 have seen Naomi collaborate extensively with Paul Smith, designing and embroidering men and women's shoes, ties, hankies and various 'special' projects including customising a Philippe Starck lamp.

In 2009, as well as embroidering furniture and pictures, Naomi aims to work on bespoke commissions for clients.
