Character compositions
For figure commissions you set the scale of the composition, which may feature a single character or bring together harmonious groupings of three, six or even twelve assorted figures.
Commission a compositionNara Lombardi
Threadwork on canvas. Embroidered illustration.
Original works in free-motion embroidery. Exclusive pieces, crafted with the care of those who value time and detail.
The work of Nara Lombardi springs from the desire to give a face and a style to the figures that inhabit her imagination, turning the surface of fabric into a field of experimentation populated by unique characters. What once held the space of a personal refuge and a hobby has become an exploration of free-motion embroidery as a territory of spontaneous creation, where each piece is the record of a fresh aesthetic discovery.
In 2026, Nara consolidated her atelier, turning that creative impulse into a craft of precision. Her works follow no industrial templates; they emerge from a fluid line in which the needle acts as an extension of drawing. It is an organic and refined process that respects the time required for an exquisite finish and the delivery of a truly singular piece.
Where each piece is born
Nara's embroidery does not fit within rigid rules. There is no millimetre-measured outline, nor any stitch that must slot into a neat grid. She embroiders the way one colours in: loose, free, letting the thread guide the drawing like a pencil on a blank sheet.
This technique, which favours the loose line and movement, lets each composition breathe on its own terms. The result is a contemporary textile aesthetic — colourful, refined and artistic.
Exclusive embroidery, made to order
When you commission a piece you are not taking home an off-the-shelf product. There are no repeats at Nara's atelier: each character is unique, and every stitch is considered and planned so as to come to life in its own way.
If you are looking for handcrafted embroidery made with soul, this is where your story and Nara's meet.

Services
The pieces in our collection are available both for immediate dispatch — with finished works shipped straight away — and by commission. Our practice spans two distinct lines: character compositions and textile calligraphy.
Every work is executed individually in free-motion embroidery, preserving the atelier's aesthetic signature in a labour that honours time, calm and the wealth of detail. Being strictly handmade and segmented in production, the result is always a singular, signature piece — conceived to be an exclusive feature in your interior.
Textile calligraphy
Phrases are developed as standalone projects, allowing you to choose specific words or messages to be immortalised in our line.
