The brand offered a broad palette for experimentation with this theme, paying tribute to the natural world and its wonders.

Window Design: Ancient Ruins

October 2016 – January 2017

Inspired by the imposing ruins of Cambodia's Angkor Wat temple complex, we sought to project how the manmade world is eternally within nature's embrace, her savage beauty woven into these vestiges of architecture. The only 'relics' left behind, symbolically, are Hermès products and the sketches of naturalist artist-collaborator Robert Dallet, printed on canvas and hand-embroidered in carved wooden frames.
