34x34 inches, 86x86 cm.
Condition A. Silk.
In 1951, Hermès commissioned Cassandre to create a design for their world-famous silk scarves. Produced using at least five different colors, the design of a structure amidst clouds, is an elaborate, Escher-esque architectural construction with a sophisticated play on perspective. Cassandre / Suntory p. 107.
