A Garden of Shapes

Histoires De Carres > Spring-Summer 2020

During a visit to Paris, Nigel Peake liked to stroll through the nearby Luxembourg gardens very early in the morning before the crowds of Parisians arrived. The trees, flowers, statues, shadow and light were revealed in their infinite variations, and looked different each day. Established at the beginning of the 17th century by Marie de Medicis, this French-style garden where balance and harmony reign was the inspiration for this scarf, which delivers a personal visual overview of controlled nature. For Nigel Peake, an architect by training, the world is a universe of shapes, and geometry is visual poetry.
