Hermès Theme of the Year: In Pursuit of Dreams

With a view to pushing the creative envelope, the theme of the year was intended to open up the vast vistas of the imagination and translate sleeping visions into realities.

Window Design: One Thousand And One Nights

April 2019 – July 2019

The displays took their cue from this collection of Middle Eastern folk tales centred around the fictitious King Shahryar and his queen Scheherazade, who narrates the 1,001 tales in the book to him in a bid to stall her impending execution. We drew on this storytelling theme with several props from the more famous among them, such as Aladdin's genie and Ali Baba's cave of treasure.
