Hermès Soleil

An experience around the Hermès Soleil tableware collection

Art direction and culinary design for an immersive experience marking the launch of Hermès Soleil, a 24-piece porcelain collection. Held at the Gaîté Lyrique in Paris, the event introduced the collection to journalists and industry professionals.

A galaxy of suns

The journey begins in darkness, in a galaxy of suns populated by around a hundred objects. Plates, saucers and serving dishes come to life in an endless zoom through the stars. Pieces from the collection merge with animated projections. A soundtrack composed for the installation evokes summer and the south, with sounds seeming to emerge from the tables and pedestal stands. 

A tasting with sunlit flavours

After this dark, sparkling immersion, visitors enter the warm light of a summer’s day. The journey ends in the historic salon of the Gaîté Lyrique with dishes and drinks inspired by sunlit flavours.
