Hermès Theme 2017: “Object Sense”

Settembre 25, 2016 by lidia

Torafu Architects, Tokyo

The objects could imply anything, from their era, the trend at the time, the feelings of the owner, why they were chosen, their function, and whatever else.

I designed the displays for the objects of the Hermès S/S 2017 Collection inspired by the book “Catalogue of Impossible Objects” by Jacques Carelman published in 1969, together with one of my favorite artistic currents: ‘Surrealism’. This, combined with the illustrations of poetic, ironic and absurd objects in the book, resulted in these sketches.

Some displays exhibit a single object, like the ‘Scarf bag’ showing a scarf which seems to be a bag and therefore impossible to use, or sometimes the objects are placed together in fantasy machines, as in the ‘Check-in belts’ or the ‘Eat-drink-wheel’ showing objects of the home collection, the inspiration coming from the 1588 ‘Book-Wheel’ by Italian-Swiss inventor Agostino Ramelli (a piece of furniture created in order to read several books simultaneously).
