Hermès Tokyo

“As the river flows”: this motto was the lead for the design process of the installation space, in the Tokyo showroom of Hermes in 2005. A narrative window: an imaginary landscape is materialized, using metaphors. This is what remains, after having dreamt of an astonishing place. The walls and floor, black glossy plexiglass, remind of a cave in black crystals. Inside this environment, mechanical rivers flow in accordance with geometrical planes, to create a quite rigid composition, where the Hermès products, soft and sinuous, come alive.
