The Story Behind (as copied from the Hermès catalog): Marie Bonnin was inspired by the village where she grew up, amidst the volcanoes of the Auvergne region in France, to compose this landscape. Conceived in the style of a game of goose or a maze, the design coils around a group of little houses with sloping roofs, bordered by small gardens. The spiral gradually extends through fields and orchards to unfold in a combination of meandering and speckled motifs evoking mountainsides, valleys, and country lanes. The artist’s association with Hermès came about through a creative workshop organized with the Paris School of Decorative Arts. A Travers Champs (“Through the Fields”) is her second design.
