– Les Nécessaires d’Hermes. In the Circolo
Filologico Hermes presented
a
fabulous installation
of its new home and furniture collection called Les
Nécessaires d’Hermes . “Pieces that exude casual, light
elegance with their original shapes, surprising hidden functions and noble
materials recalling Hermes’ heritage.” This is how French designer Philippe
Nigro describes the eight valet stands, tidies and occasional seating he has
designed. The collection takes its name from the French “nécessaires”,
designating “essential” pieces that, until the 19th century, held useful
everyday utensils manufactured by highly skilled craftsmen.
Les Nécessaires d’Hermes. Manufactured according to the traditions of
high-quality cabinetmaking and upholstering, Les Nécessaires d’Hermes combine
craftsmanship and exquisite materials, such as Canaletto walnut wood in warm
shades, brushed steel, leather and Hermes fabrics.

d’assise, whose proportions are inspired by Hermes’ silk square
scarves. They are available in three
different heights, and can be used as occasional seating or as a side table.
