Story about the Design: Pagni reinterprets an archival equestrian engraving from the Émile Hermès collection: he keeps the poised horse, then “builds” riders using layered circles and squares like stamped cut-outs, so the figure seems to appear and disappear within the geometry. A palm-frond border—taken from a Renaissance bestiary—frames the scene, creating a witty dialogue between classical engraving and abstract forms.
Artist's Story: Gianpaolo Pagni is a Turin-born, Paris-based artist known for composing images with hand-stamped geometric motifs. He began collaborating with Hermès in the 2010s and has since signed multiple scarves and home designs; his work spans scarves such as Manufacture de Boucleries (2015) and Grande Théâtre Nouveau (2021), and extends to Hermès home pieces like rugs and quilts.
Collector's Notes: Cavalier en Formes quickly became a fan favorite upon release, with lively discussion of its many colorways and how the contrasts change the hidden rider effect; the Rose Vif/Blue/Green palette is prized for its high contrast and modern pop. The design was also explored beyond the regular 90, including a 140 CSGM and even an “Exceptional” hand-beaded 90, which adds discreet sparkle to the geometric stamps—details valued by committed carré collectors.
