Coming from a lengthy equestrian background, Tiana Marie Combes is inherently influenced by the duality of equine accoutrement—tack, riding equipment—taking notes from both its elegant beauty and durability in construction. On view are excerpts from La Selle Hermés by Arnault Joubin, published by Editions Du Collectionneur in 1993. The rare printed work covers the notable quality and history of French leather saddles and saddlery made by Hermés, combining intricate design with hardwearing functionality.
