The story behind
A quadrige, or quadriga, is an ancient four-horse, two-wheel chariot usually used for racing. By analogy, "quadriga" also refers to a sculpture representing a quadriga. Famous quadriga sculptures include those at the Grand Palais, in Paris, the Brandenburg Gate, in Berlin, and the one on the Parthenon frieze, at the Acropolis Museum. A new version of a scarf from the 1970s, Quadrige is an exercise in style that plays on interweaving two horse heads and harnesses, like the pieces of a puzzle.
