Story about the Design: D’Origny’s composition pays homage to Antoine de Pluvinel’s seminal 17th-century equestrian manual, “L’instruction du Roy en l’exercice de monter à cheval,” echoing the engravings’ bits, reins and scrolls within a heraldic frame. The Bayadère version overlays bold horizontal bands that modernise the classic, maintaining the central cartouche and tack.
Artist's Story: Henri d’Origny has shaped Hermès aesthetics for decades—across scarves, ties and timepieces (e.g., Arceau/Cape Cod)—a maison legend celebrated for refined equestrian geometry and timeless line.
