The intriguing prints of the coveted Hermes silk ties can now be appreciated in another way. The French luxury brand has launched its Tie-Set range of porcelain tableware, with designs that make use of vivid colour combinations and eye-popping geometric tessellations. There are 20 designs, 20 colours and 34 pieces, from plates to bowls to vases, to play with. And the best part is that you don’t even need to worry about matching patterns – the more they clash, the more interesting your table setting gets!
