The immense spaces of the former Pelota return to serve as the setting for the presentation of the new home collection signed by Hermes, in this setting that is always awe-inspiring. The artistic direction is by Charlotte Macaux-Perelman and Alexis Fabry, and the setting each year amazes with its simplicity and at the same time its power: this time everything is designed under the banner of lightness, like a challenge to gravity, which is expressed through the presentation of home objects presented inside four structures.

Each object is an expression of savoir-faire and the result of extreme precision. Six creations give shape to this manifesto to lightness: they are all made of cashmere, one of the maison's favorite materials, an infinitely delicate natural fiber that combines strength and brilliant colors. The workmanship is made with strips of cashmere that form the pattern; hand-woven and hand-dyed squares create patchworks of shimmering colors; geometric shapes assembled with relinking evoke stained glass mosaics; a large bedspread brings color, patchwork and the quilting tradition into dialogue.
