The Story Behind

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 and statue were revealed in their infinite variations through shadow and light, and looked different each day. Established at the beginning of the 17th century by Marie de Médicis, this French-style garden where balance and harmony reign was the inspiration for this scarf, 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.
