Hermès presents its new collections for the home: All about colour at the Museo della Permanente at 34, Via Turati from 17thto 22ndApril 2018, during the Milan International Furniture Fair.
Objects, home textiles, furniture, furnishing fabrics and wallpaper! The 2018-2019 collections for the home are presented in a structured space designed by Charlotte Macaux Perelman, deputy artistic director for Hermès Maison with Alexis Fabry.
The installation consists of a series of seven oversized houses, each of a different colour and covered in glossy tiles, which float through the space in a game of perspective reminding a kind of ancient tribal city. Each room hosts beautiful and particular objects.
A new dinner service ‘A Walk in the Garden’ was also be unveiled for the occasion.
A Walk in the Garden tells the story of an English garden, of a place where flowers andforms flourish. A place where colours engage in informal dialogue, as familiar friends. The artist Nigel Peake has let his pencil glide from shrub to pathway. A freehand stroke running under the glaze. The palette is made up of four subtle, almost primary hues: bright orange, leaf green, buttercup and Prussian blue. “The garden is a place where shapes and colours grow. A place to let the imagination run free: beautiful, in its studied disorder,” explains this partner to the house of Hermès.

A Walk in the Garden, with designs that converge and intersect, leads from structured e ects to supple compositions. Twigs, leaves and grasses shoot up through latticed, chequered and herringbone motifs. Skilful planning underlies an air of spontaneity; that this is an English garden is without doubt. Emphasised each time by a band of light, a natural harmony occurs between organic freedom and graphic structure in the twenty pieces with as many di erent patterns. A single piece of porcelain focuses the eye, the better to free the mind to wander. With the entire service, everything springs to life in one and the same movement: a garden on the table.
