1. A harmony of hues
Colour is central to the new Hermès Home collection, something immediately apparent as soon as you enter La Permanente in Milan. The museum was transformed into a dramatic setting with soaring structures clad in 150,000 handmade glazed tiles from Morocco rendered in shades of turquoise, amber, sea green, sienna and more. The imposing architecture is meant to contrast the whimsical, detail-oriented pieces that make up the collection. "We wanted to work with scale. Most of the pieces this year are small so we created towering structures; the height is emphasised by the use of stairs in the scenography," says Charlotte Macaux Perelman, co-artistic director at Hermès Maison.
