The house of Hermès has come out with the collection Les Nécessaires d’Hermès, a line of furniture designed by Philippe Nigro. It includes the Carré d’Assise poufs and tables and Groom, an element with a metal structure covered with black walnut, clothes hangers, a shelf for a bag, a dumbwaiter and a back mirror faced in leather. The emphasis on handcrafted quality underlines the difference between industrial mass production and the niche reserved for those who can not just afford such objects, but also and above all appreciate them. The collection was presented during Milan Design Week, at the Circolo Filologico.
