The design is inspired by the Georgian painter, Niko Pirosmani's artwork - "Giraffe"
Niko Pirosmani's paintings show the life and customs of Tbilisi in the 19th-20th centuries. The majority of his paintings were commissions for taverns and small shops, often in exchange for food and drink rather than money. That’s how The Zdanevich brothers discovered the artist's work in a cafe in Tbilisi - years later they brought it to Picasso, who dedicated a portrait to Pirosman in 1972. Niko's works have seen the light of day at many exhibitions, including - in 1969 at the Louvre Museum in Paris. The passage of time has brought even more recognition to the artist's work - in 2018, an exhibition at the Albertina Museum in Vienna was dedicated to the 100th anniversary of Pirosman's death.
