HERMES 140cm SILK/CASHMERE SCARF/SHAWL - COSMOGRAPHIA UNIVERSALIS by JAN BAJTLIK
Jan Bajtlik is a young Polish artist whose first scarf design appeared in Hermes stores in 2019. His scarf designs have graced both the mens and womens departments, and have expanded into housewares and baby gifts.
Cosmographia Universalis was introduced in the 2019 season, featuring fantastical creatures mixed in with recognizable critters in a fertile valley. From the Hermes Story Behind: Sebastian Munster was a cartographer, historian, astronomer, mathematician and scholar of Hebrew. His book Cosmographia Universalis was published for the first time in Germany in 1544, and one of the most widely read books of the 16th century. When Jan Bajtlik discovered an original edition in a Polish library, he was fascinated by this vision of the world made up of myths and legends. His scarf represents an imaginary landscape and combines architecture, fauna and flora. By using seahorses, sea monsters or even pyramids as models, he creates a dreamlike universe populated by extraordinary creatures.
