Hermès scarf Jardin à Sintra

Year: 2017

Theme: Le sens de l’objet ( Meaning of the object )

Artist: Annie Faivre

Story behind: “Near the town’s historical centre, the palace and park of Monserrate add to their astonishing beauty. Inspired by Gothic, Indian and Moorish art and nestled in luxuriant grounds, this fantasy of stone and trees was acquired by a British textile magnate in the second half of the nineteenth century. Species brought here from the four corners of the globe thrive in the gentle climate. Organised by origin, they create a haven of unrivalled tranquillity. Designer Annie Faivre was dazzled by the site’s beauty: her carré is designed to evoke the luxuriant, romantic park populated with palms, cacti, banana trees, eucalyptus, wisteria, holly, tree ferns, cork oaks and agaves.”

Hermès Scarf The Battery New York (Limited Edition)

Year of Issue: 2017

Theme: Le sens de l’objet ( Meaning of the object )

Artist: Ugo Gattoni

Story Behind: Located at the far end of Manhattan, The Battery is the park that runs alongside the Hudson. Opposite two iconic landmarks:  Ellis Island, where immigrants were processed at the beginning of the last century, and the Statue of Liberty. Steps from Wall Street, it remains a place for remembrance. Ugo Gattoni presents it in his own way, adding his personal vision of the city. He outlines its contours, its skyscrapers, the vegetation and the long esplanade at the water’s edge, and supplements it with a few surprising details: a foot sculpture atop a tower, a monumental hand emerging from the Hudson, and a host of little characters busying themselves here and there.

Hermès Scarf Fleurs de Giverny

Year of Issue: 2017

Theme: Le sens de l’objet ( Meaning of the object )

Artist: Christine Henry

Story Behind: Claude Monet, one of the Impressionist movement’s foremost exponents, moved with his family to Giverny in Normandy, in 1883. The garden he created there over many years was more than a source of inspiration – it was a work of art in its own right. Visiting in 1907, Marcel Proust wrote of the “delicate water lilies depicted by the master in sublime canvases for which this garden […] is a kind of living, preparatory sketch.” Christine Henry was invited to this exceptional place, today the Museum of Impressionism, for the creation of this carré. Its composition is inspired not only by the infinitely rich colors of the garden’s flowers, but also by Monet’s carefully planned arrangement of forms, color harmonies, shadows and reflections. From the gentle curve of the Japanese garden’s bridges and the broad paths in the walled Normandy garden, to the soaring verticals of the bamboo and the delicate leaves of the weeping willow, motifs from the ceramics decorating Monet’s kitchen or kimonos evoking his fascination with Japanese art are surrounded by the geometry of flower beds and waterfalls. This carré is a tribute from the House of Hermès to an artist’s garden, and to the Foundation that ensures it lives on today.

Hermès scarf Into the Canadian Wild

Year of Issue: 2017

Theme: Le sens de l’objet ( Meaning of the object )

Artist: Alice Shirley

Story behind: “Canada is the second biggest country in the world by geographical area. Bounded by three oceans, this vast territory is watered by thousands of lakes. Its diverse fauna is protected in a host of regional and national parks, burgeoning with wildlife. This vivid evocation by Alice Shirley presents a swirling celebration of life, an explosion of colour. A majestic snowy owl, one of the symbols of the Québec region, soars amid the aurora borealis. Animals go about their daily lives by land and sea: polar and brown bears, salmon, narwhals, orcas and whales, stags, bison, bighorn sheep, caribou, snow geese, Canada geese, butterflies and owls are depicted in their natural habitats, among rushes, at the foot of a great sequoia, in the shade of a maple tree, surrounded by blue flax flowers, in the clear waters of a river… This carré is an ode to the natural world, a celebration of its inestimable value, and a testimony to the treasures of the Canadian wild.”

Hermès Scarf Le Grand Prix du Faubourg 

Year of Issue: 2018

Theme: Let’s Play!

Artist: Ugo Gattoni

Story Behind: Ugo Gattoni loves visual games, optical pile-ups. His extremely delicate, controlled hand and his whimsical spirit become the creators of abundant dream worlds where every corner conceals a surprise, a strange detail. “An oneiric race through a phantasmagorical Faubourg” aptly captures the spirit of the design. A fanciful profusion from which emerge architectural forms, advertising hoardings, stories and anecdotes from all the epochs of this Parisian street, where Hermès opened almost two centuries ago. Crowds surge around the bend of the Faubourg, colorful, festive, dynamic. Racing cyclists cheered on by the crowd, flying boats, Zeppelins and balloons occupy every inch of the scarf.
