Maison Matisse

Maison Matisse invited the British designer Faye Toogood to interpret the black ink on white paper drawings from the book Dessins: Thèmes et Variations (1943) by Henri Matisse. The French visual artist shaped many art movements with a joyful optimism, a will to experiment and a quest to balance colour and form. With Maison Matisse, his universe continues to inspire and find new expression in design objects – collaborating with up-and-coming and renowned talents to interpret Matisse’s explorations. The result of the collaboration with Faye Toogood is a collection of furniture for the living room or bedroom that reveals a less wellknown universe of the master and which Maison Matisse wants to bring out, a different perspective from the colourful work we are used to seeing – his black and white drawings. The results are sophisticated pieces with an artsy twist.

Herm S

The influential fashion house also offers a luxurious home collection. According to the brand, the aesthetics of HERMÈS’ creations are inspired by the authenticity of their shapes and the innate strength of their minimalism.

This year, the stage for the collection displayed a framework composed of iron rods and concrete. Grids and lines created a robust structure for the pieces consisting of unique elements such as blown glass for minimalist lamps, traditional upholstery for a simple, refined chair and virtuoso hand embroidery for rugs with highly graphic motifs. Bronze, glass, wood and leather were showcased in their most primitive manifestations or juxtaposed, highlighting organic materials. The muted colours support the expression of figures central to the house’s heritage. Equestrian celebrations adorn a porcelain breakfast service with cheerful lines, as well as rugs and blankets that burst with an imaginative glamour.

Danish designer Cecilie Manz conceived the Ancelle d’Hermès armchair made with a robust frame in solid wood with a sheet of leather that creates a soft and elegant seat. Heir to a Scandinavian tradition that merges robustness with minimalism, this armchair surprises with the perfection of its sleek design.
