Hermès: Superb scarf entitled "Orgauphone and other Mechanics" created by Françoise Faconnet in 1996. Unique edition, in damask silk that Maison Hermès no longer produces (because it has become too expensive to produce these days); damask silk captures and reflects light like no other.
How did this word "Orgauphone" come about?? From the combination of the words "Organ" and "Phone" (which is the unit of measurement of the intensity of perception of a sound).
After coining this word, Françoise Faconnet offers us on this square, a delicious "arrangement" of barrel organ and limonaire.
The barrel organ is a mechanical wind musical instrument classified as an organ. It is handled in popular imagery by a crank turner who can use it as an accompaniment to songs or as a recital instrument..
It comes in a variety of forms, smaller ones that can be worn over the shoulder, traditional attribute of street singers and the Salvation Army for preaching in the streets in the early 20th century; to the largest called Limonaires who are fixed and assigned to ballrooms, coffees, but sometimes also churches.
The barrel organ consists, schematically, of a bellows system, of a "wind box", a set of mechanisms intended to bring the "wind" to the pipes that produce the sound. These mechanisms are controlled by a moving part, can be changed at will, which includes the “programmed” melody: cylinder, disk, perforated cardboard… A crank operated by the “musician” simultaneously operates the bellows, the progression of the “program” and the corresponding mechanisms. Additional mechanisms can simultaneously operate percussion (drums, tambourines) or animated characters. According to the principle of the organ, the sounds are produced by the passage of the "wind" produced by the bellows, in pipes each corresponding to a note. The difference comes from the fact that it is not the musician's fingers that operate the keys, but a mechanical system, according to the pre-established program.

A limonaire meanwhile, is also a mechanical wind instrument, but large, bulky and very heavy which can only be transported on a towed platform. The fundamental difference between fairground organs and barrel organs is mainly due to their size but also to the complexity of the devices that compose them., but both are mechanical organs.
There is a wide intermediate range of mobile organs, carried on carts or hitched to cars, to the organs that traditionally accompanied fairground rides.
It is inside an intense navy blue margin that this astonishing and exquisite design is deployed.
