Picking home decorations and accessories can be hard for households as it requires a theme and an aesthetic sense.
However, a frame in the living room with one good saying or a Qur’anic verse is a must-have in every Arab-Muslim home to reflect its religious affiliation.
With a skillful touch, Hafeth by Gardenia can introduce you to a collection of handmade canvas concept embroideries.
Hafeth by Gardenia is a line produced by Saudi fashion designer Gardenia Hafiz.
She has selected verses from the Qur’an that are full of life wisdom and turned them into a beautiful visual narration by mixing words and colors. Beads, sequins and silk threads are key elements in all pieces.
One typically inspiring piece is “Kindness,” a perfect combination of color, pattern and texture inspired by Surat Ibrahim, verse 24: “Do you not see how God makes comparisons? A good word is like a good tree whose root is firm and whose branches are high in the sky.”
The handmade work features a tree made with different shades of green and brown. The background is made of light beige Italian linen, with the words of the verse embroidered to the side.
Islamic art is usually made of complex shapes and such pieces liven up the spaces they are hung in.
The size of the pieces varies from 30 cm to 1 meter long; customized designs and larger sizes are also available. Large pieces take up to two months to make, while smaller pieces can take around 16 hours, depending on the amount of hand embroidery included.
A significant percentage of the proceeds goes to local charities to help those in need. You
can find these pieces in bazaars, as well as on the website: https://gardeniahafiz.shop/
