Hermès presented a scenographic installation at Milan Design Week, conceived by Charlotte Macaux Perelman and Alexis Fabry, transforming space into an exploration of form, material and movement. Composed of thirty rectangular columns in varying heights, the structure created a series of pathways and shifting perspectives, guiding visitors through the Maison’s latest home collection.
Arranged in rhythmic alignment, the columns evoke the repeated gestures of craftsmanship, where precision and time shape each object. Wood, plaster and beech form a subtle architectural language, framing the pieces while allowing moments of pause and discovery. The interplay between full and empty spaces encourages a slower pace, in which moving through the installation becomes part of the experience itself.
Throughout, the installation reflected Hermès’ approach to the home, where craftsmanship, materiality and imagination come together with restraint. Rather than presenting objects in isolation, the space allows them to exist within a broader narrative, one that moves between architecture and intimacy, gesture and detail.
As the light shifts and perspectives change, the installation unfolds gradually, revealing new alignments and connections. It is a considered expression of the Hermès universe, where design is experienced not only through objects, but through the atmosphere they create.
