Visitors can explore a nature-themed environment with unique carpets, fabrics,

Flowing from the entrance, visitors are welcomed into the silk universe framed by the house’s emblematic ex-libris and Faubourg mosaic flooring in powder blue tones. On the left, a curved wooden wall with a gradient watercolour effect accompanied by a textured patterned carpet creates a cosy and enveloping atmosphere to guide visitors along a journey. A sandstone pattern wall at the opposite end provides contrast, enclosing the fashion jewellery and perfume and beauty areas. The store’s pathway continues with home and equestrian collections followed by jewellery and watches, featuring sandy tones accentuated by light cotton fabric walls. At the centre of the space, leather goods are presented against a neutral scene, accentuating the sense of flowing water. The journey concludes with a large window and skylight, drawing the exterior inwards and bathing the men’s and women’s universes in natural light.

Designed by Parisian architecture agency RDAI, the store’s contemporary interior showcases a combination of warm palettes with natural textures. The design immerses the visitor into a serene, nature-inspired environment, with an emphasis on unique carpets and fabrics.

A selection of curated artworks from the Émile Hermès Collection and Hermès Collection of Contemporary Photographs includes Malakata by French artist Marine Wallon, a work evoking the movement of water and the reflections of light on its surface, which blends in with the store’s architectural narrative. As a tribute to Hermès’ equestrian roots, Scène de courses by British artist James Alexander Walker brings movement and vitality to the scene.

Hermès invites loyal customers and new visitors to explore its contemporary creations through an immersive environment that captures the local spirit and the house’s craftsmanship.
