The Home Universe: What Makes the Object

SCENOGRAPHY created by Charlotte Macaux Perelman

RETROSPECTIVE ─ For Milan Design Week 2025, Hermès returned to La Pelota with its new scenography by Architect Charlotte Macaux Perelman and Alexis Fabry, Artistic Directors of the Hermès Collections for the Home

MILAN | ISSUE 15

CHARLOTTE MACAUX PERELMAN & ALEXIS FABRY

Artistic Directors of the Home Universe


Charlotte Macaux Perelman and Alexis Fabry joined Hermès as Artistic Directors of the Home Universe in 2014. Driven by their shared passion for objects, know-how, and craftsmanship, they jointly oversee the artistic direction of Hermès Home, Hermès Horizons, Saint-Louis and Puiforcat.


Their new creations were on display this April in Milan’s La Pelota, in colourless suspended boxes, projecting halos of bright colour onto the floor. It is in the immateriality of their auras that the objects first appear, like emotions. This staging aimed to evoke a quest for the object, and for the luminous vibration that makes it familiar.






Maison HERMÈS COLLECTIONS FOR THE HOME MILAN 2025


When removed from the box, the object takes a part of this aura with it. What remains is the memory of its idealised perfection, inseparable from its presence. The object is there, appearing gradually in glimpses and reflections., while space is reduced or expanded by light. These  objects, furniture, and fabrics come alive with reassuring vibration, shimmering with a familiar halo.


An object can be an emotion.
