The story behind

The idea for "Cheval Natte" came to Tong Ren when he was designing the "Mon Premier Galop" shawl. The two designs share the same visual aesthetic: the texture of the braiding and color blocks. "Cheval Natte" was inspired by the wooden blocks the artist used to build castles when he was a child. The horse is standing on the stage, the curtain open and the lights on. He is ready to open the show. This playful, cheerful design is featured on the new poker, bridge and tarot playing cards.
