Interweaving Modernity, Finesse and Whimsy
Hermès’ new Tressages Equestres tableware is an ode to the Maison’s heritage
The intertwined threads of cotton and leather in Tressages Equestres echo the essence of Hermès craftsmanship – not only in the artisan’s hand but also in the horse, the rider and the bonds that unite them.
Inspired by the intricate passementerie and braiding used in the harness-making that lies at the heart of the Maison’s heritage, this exquisite dinner service reflects Hermès’ storied origins. Designed under the artistic direction of Benoît-Pierre Emery, Creative Director of La Table Hermès, and brought to life by Virginie Jamin’s meticulous illustrations, the collection is both a tribute to tradition and an exploration of contemporary design.
Comprising 27 pieces – including 10 newly designed hollow-ware items – the collection seamlessly complements cuisines from around the world. The omnipresent kaolin white porcelain forms the perfect canvas for Jamin’s intricate patterns. Her precise lines, alternating between fine and dense, create a striking sense of volume and texture.
A vibrant palette of zesty lemon, mint and petrol blue contrasts beautifully with the natural tones of fibres and leather, evoking the earthy elegance of Hermès’ equestrian roots. Playing with scale and motifs, each piece tells its own story and every arrangement creates a unique narrative.
