Planifleurs

Hermes.com > The Story Behind

Sunflower, rose, bellflower, dahlia or forget-me-not – what if every country in the world were a flower? Christine Henry knows a lot about plants, from their natural properties to their symbolism. To create this scarf, she looked for the connections between each country and the flowers that grow there, before charting a planisphere in which endemic species are placed over the corresponding parts of the world. The resulting map could serve as a poetic guide to protecting biodiversity.
