Collection CHEVALIER
Collection CHEVALIER explores knighthood through symbols.
It reflects the knight’s journey and sees the person beneath the armour.
Through the language of symbols, CHEVALIER reveals man’s inner core.
Clou à ferrer
Horseshoe nail
The word Chevalier traces back to Old French
and means "horseman."
Journey. The horseshoe nail symbolises the great journey. It is a symbol of freedom, movement and the travels in which a man finds himself.
Fortune. The horseshoe nail carries a reference to the horseshoe, the traditional sign of luck. The nail secures it, and so becomes a metaphor for securing success.
Cotte de mailles
Chainmail
Character. Chainmail symbolises strong character and the countless steps and efforts required to achieve that strength.
Freedom. Chainmail protects and still leaves a man free to move. It is a symbol of the freedom that comes from being prepared.
STEEL
Self-made person
We chose steel as a direct link to the sword, the material embodiment of knighthood.
Steel weaponry holds a balance of strength, hardness, and flexibility.
These are not natural traits of the metal, but the result of work, achieved through repeated forging and tempering.
Steel symbolises the self-made person, who crafts the best version of himself.
