If you’re an avid fan of Hermès, you will know that the maison’s equestrian roots infiltrate just about every aspect of its DNA. As history has it, harness-maker Thierry Hermès’s workshop, which opened in Paris in 1837, set up the foundation for the inimitable quality the house is known for today, ranging from subtlety to craftsmanship. When its offerings expanded to leather goods in 1922, this naturally expanded across various Hermès collections, demonstrating a elegant cross-pollination between different worlds—from art to fashion—instantly recognisable by unique motifs.
As we approach the festive season, what better way to crystallise the essence of Hermès in one’s home than with the Tressages Equestres set? Inspired by the maison’s emblematic technique of passementerie and braiding, as seen in its legendary harness-making, the set is a chic addition, whether as a gift or a complement to one’s dinnerware collection.
Brought to life through the artistic direction of Benoit Pierre Emery, creative director of La Table Hermès, this collection embodies the timeless elegance and artistry that define the brand. Comprising 27 pieces made in France, ranging from breakfast cups and saucers to serving bowls, dinner plates, and teapots, the collection boasts a whimsical and dynamic selection of shapes, perfect for various mealtimes.
Each piece is crafted from porcelain and features a special chromolithography printing that gives the collection its unique Hermès charm. Expect an assortment of pieces with a white base, adorned with a playful mix of colours and patterns—yellow, blue, green, and red—along with subtle hints of texture in the form of printed leather and fibre. For those who enjoy experimenting with different cuisines, the collection offers a versatile foundation for the dinner of your dreams.
