HERMES 90cm SILK SCARF - EXPOSITION UNIVERSELLE by JAN BAJTLIK
I went to a few PNEs (Pacific Northwest Expositions) in Vancouver BC when I was growing up. Aside from the nostalgic connection, I am, of course, drawn to Kluska in the corner! As with Animapolis, Bajtlik creates a whimsical world with such detail that I can find something new to marvel at every time I look at it. Bajtlik provides a lot of details behind the vignettes in his Instagram posts.
From the Hermes website, The Story Behind:
Jan Bajtlik invites us to a universal exhibition full of surprises. Absurd humor and nods to history punctuate this multicolored map in which dinosaurs frolic under a cloche and penguins dance underwater. A Tower of Babel transformed into a spiral slide stands near a Trojan horse housing a spa, while four drones hold the Great Pyramid upside down. The designer finds inspiration in the great world fairs of the 19th century to recreate a fantasy park in which innovation, combined with gigantism, is represented in all its forms: pragmatic, poetic and entirely far-fetched.
