House of card: Moveable home of Hermès furniture

The two new collections, the Matières by Enzo Mari and Métièrs by Antonio Citterio, reflect the ethos of, and feature elements inspired by, the Paris-based grand dame of luxury. Much of the leather used is Clémence bull calf leather, slightly thicker than the brand’s leather goods. The legs of the console table in the Matières collections are crossed, referencing the brand’s connection with foldable furniture that is easy to travel with.

Appropriately, the collections and their temporary home, the paper, cardboard and wood house by Shigeru Ban, is set to travel. Its next stop will be Tokyo.
