In an age-old Chinese story, a praying mantis tries to stop a chariot with its arms. “It’s a fable of immoderate courage,” says Korean-French artist Seulgi Lee, who abstracted such dicta into vibrant quilts for her Blanket Project U in 2014. Now, working with Korean artisans who practice the traditional Nubi technique—long lines of stitches, separated by as little as half a centimeter—she has turned three of the designs into limited-edition cashmere quilts for Hermès. Look closely and you can make out graphic renditions of that strong-armed mantis (shown), a pipe-smoking tiger, and a horse’s hindquarters. “I like to imagine that these proverbs can influence the dreams of people who use the blanket,” she says.
