Recycled Irish Linen

Handmade & Unique

Perfect Timeless Gift
Description

8 × 8 cm

Our Sunburst has its origins in the beautiful Sola design by Hermès, featuring an elaborate golden sun with a wonderfully expressive little face and rays radiating outwards, positioned above a sundial.

Over the years, I sourced a number of vintage Hermès silk scarves featuring this design, making them into cushions, each time in a slightly different colourway. It was one of those motifs I kept returning to, and before long, the idea of creating my own little Sunburst in Irish Linen began to take shape.

For my interpretation, I wanted to keep things relatively simple, with delicate metallic embroidery defining the sun's face and radiating rays, and plenty of space left between the embellishments to appreciate the natural beauty and texture of the Irish Linen. Rather than lavishly covering the entire surface, I've allowed the fabric itself to become an important part of the design.

Sunburst isn't simply another celestial decoration. It has a connection to my long-standing appreciation of vintage textiles, which gives it a genuine place in the wider Katie Larmour story.

I've always liked the thought expressed by Roald Dahl in The Twits, that good thoughts can shine from a person's face like sunbeams. There's something rather fitting about that sentiment when looking at our little Sunburst and its gentle expression.

A lovely addition to a Christmas tree, but equally at home amongst our growing collection of celestial decorations throughout the year. Pair it with our Moon and Cosmic Star for a charming little trio, or add our Astronaut for a more adventurous gathering!

Our Irish Linen

Our luxury artisan decorations are handcrafted from beautiful Irish Linen, thoughtfully sourced from a mixture of vintage fabrics, local mill deadstock, repurposed antique tablecloths and offcuts from our own cushion making. We also work with a small number of wonderful Irish linen mills, including one of the last remaining linen mills still active in Ireland today, carefully selecting fabrics for their colour, texture and character.

Contemporary Irish Linen Design

Katie Larmour Linen is an Irish design studio celebrated for refined craftsmanship, thoughtful sustainability and a modern approach to traditional Irish Linen.

Founded by designer-maker Katie Larmour, the studio brings together heritage materials and contemporary design to create pieces that feel both timeless and quietly distinctive.

Katie Larmour

Katie Larmour trained in Applied Art at the University of Ulster, Belfast, graduating in 2006. After eight years working as an art and antiques dealer, she established her design studio in 2014, combining a deep understanding of material culture with a hands-on making practice.

Irish Linen has always been central to her work. Growing up in Northern Ireland, surrounded by the legacy of the linen industry, and with family ties to the Huguenot artisans who helped shape it, linen is both a personal and professional inheritance.

A Material with Meaning

The studio is known for its use of natural, undyed Irish Linen, often in its distinctive oatmeal tone. Sourced from vintage and antique cloth, mill deadstock and studio off-cuts, the linen is chosen for its longevity, integrity and heritage.

Certified by the Irish Linen Guild as a trusted and recommended maker, the brand champions linen as a material worthy of careful design and contemporary relevance.

Festive Craft, Reimagined

Over recent years, Katie Larmour Linen has become particularly known for its beautifully crafted linen decorations, designed to bring warmth, softness and subtle sparkle to seasonal interiors.

Often described as jewellery for the tree, each piece is made using salvaged Irish Linen and intricate beadwork, designed to be treasured, collected and brought out year after year.

These designs are stocked internationally and can be found in cultural institutions, historic houses, museums, luxury hotels and design-led boutiques across Ireland, the UK and beyond.
