BIO
Inspired by travellers and their nomadic spirit, the Hermes folding armchair reveals the artistry of the French brand’s leather craftsmen through the harmonious symmetry of its design. It was created with balance and simplicity in mind – the two themes for Hermes’ latest home collection, which debuted at the Milan Furniture Fair last year.
The seat and backrest are available in clemence leather, a term used to describe the durable and heavy leather made from a bull calf.
Designed by Rena Dumas and Peter Coles, the combination of light-hued maple wood and leather invokes images of spring.
The armchair is part of the Pippa range (known for its beautifully crafted folding furniture), as well as the first home collection under Hermes’ two new artistic directors, Charlotte Macaux Perelman and Alexis Fabry.
TRIVIA
After three decades at Liat Towers, the Hermes flagship recently underwent a 15-month renovation overhaul. Along with a new look, the store has a larger stand-alone section dedicated to its furniture and homeware accessories, as well as an additional floor for art and exhibitions.
