Elegant, graphic and perfectly symmetrical, Arcs en Ciel is one of Julia Abadie’s most accomplished compositions, celebrating the art of archery through a play of concentric circles, stylised arrows and taut curves of great visual purity.

Our copy, bearing the Hermès Paris © copyright and the sewn-in care label, is the 1984 reissue, sought after for the precision of its print and the richness of its gold and royal blue palette.

The colours — gold, sand and deep blue — retain remarkable intensity, testifying to its great condition.

The central composition, a stylised target, is framed by motifs of bows and arrows that echo one another in a rare geometric harmony. The whole evokes mastery, tension and precision of movement, in an aesthetic that is both contemporary and timeless.

An iconic piece from the 1980s, Arcs en Ciel is highly sought-after today.

A collector’s square, ideal for a lover of Hermès graphic design, a collector of early reissues or a high-end decorative display.
