This Harlequin motif is inspired by the chequered costume of the comic mischievious character of the Italian Commedi dell’arte - a multi-coloured patchwork of colour.
The design mirrors the playfulness of Harlequin, who traditionally carried a “slapstick”, a magic wand that could change the scenery of the play.
Speaking in regional dialect, skipping and turning cartwheels he brought playfulness and joy – so have fun!
