For their latest collection of objects for the home, the Hermès Maison creative directors Charlotte Macaux Perelman and Alexis Fabry looked to the earth.
There are few pit stops during Milan Design Week quite as delightful as a visit to the Hermès showroom. At their longtime home of La Pelota Jai Alai – an event space in the heart of the Brera design district – a sun-dappled outdoor courtyard invites you to take a seat on colourful, custom-made outdoor furniture, or stop by the coffee truck set up at one end for an espresso.
Or, in Fabry’s words, it’s “the idea of a material that becomes sublime through a gesture.” That philosophy was most visible in a corridor running along the back of the room, where 21 new objects and furniture pieces were displayed next to items from the Hermès archives, artfully curated to appear in dialogue.
