The story behind
Based on the Cavalier en Formes scarf design
Who goes there? Is that a rider hiding under the circles and squares? For this design, Gianpaolo Pagni found inspiration in a series of equestrian lithographs from the Imagerie de Nancy conserved in the Émile Hermès collection. Choosing to retain only the mount from this engraving, he used stamped forms in geometric shapes to represent the riders' silhouettes in cubist style. The palm leaves all around are taken from a 16th-century bestiary. Where Renaissance meets surrealism, this design is a colorful and graphic homage to early abstract art.
