Description
Model history :
Thalassa was designed by Pierre Péron, an artist renowned for his creations inspired by the maritime world. Published in 1973, this square is one of a series of models in which Péron celebrates the sea, its boats and its landscapes. The name chosen, Thalassa, in reference to the Greek goddess of the sea, underlines the mythological and poetic dimension of this creation. The square reflects Hermès’ attachment to the art of navigation and the traditions of Mediterranean ports, through a refined, contemporary graphic design.
Details :
The square features a wide green border that harmoniously frames the central scene. The clean lines of the boats and ropes are underlined by black outlines that highlight the solid colors. The beige background contrasts subtly with the bright hues of the boats, recalling the decor of sun-drenched fishing harbors. The words “Hermès-Paris” appear discreetly in a yellow cartouche on one side.
The heart of the square is occupied by a group of boats arranged in a quasi-abstract manner, creating a graphic interplay of shapes and lines. Each boat is distinguished by geometric motifs: stripes, solid surfaces, stylized rope details. The primary colors – red, blue, yellow – blend with the dominant green to create a vivid, balanced palette. The absence of figurative scenes reinforces the model’s timeless, decorative character.
Product condition :
This scarf is in very good condition for a vintage model. The silk retains its lustre and suppleness, and the prints are crisp with no noticeable discoloration.
Maintenance tips :
Professional dry-cleaning is recommended to preserve the quality of the silk twill and the vibrancy of the colors. Prolonged exposure to sunlight should be avoided to prevent pigment fading. Store flat or rolled in a cotton cloth to maintain the integrity of the roulotté.
