HERMÈS
Jeu de chaise par Denis Montel
Avec l’ouverture en 2010 de son magasin rue de Sèvres, dédié à l’univers de la maison, Hermès témoigne de son engagement dans l’ameublement et la décoration d’intérieur. En 2011, après avoir renoué avec ses racines en rééditant le mobilier de Jean-Michel Frank, Hermès s’ancre dans l’époque avec la création de collections de mobilier contemporain qui seront présentées au Salon International du Meuble de Milan en avril avant leur lancement en septembre. Parmi les designers choisis pour mener le dialogue entre création contemporaine et savoir-faire, Denis Montel a créé « la » chaise Hermès, avec Eric Benqué. Autour d’elle et pour les premiers pas d’Hermès dans le parcours Designer’s Days, Denis Montel concevra une mise en scène au sein du nouveau magasin parisien de la maison dont il a également signé l’architecture intérieure. Il y créera un « jeu de chaise » pour raconter l’évidence pure de cette chaise gainée tout cuir, les savoir-faire Hermès qu’elle associe et la fantaisie des multiples coloris des peaux
qui l’habillent.

With the opening in 2010 of its shop on Rue de Sèvres, devoted to the home, Hermès has shown its commitment to furnishings and interior decoration. In 2011, after returning to its roots by recreating the furniture of Jean-Michel Frank, Hermès has set its sights on the modern age with the creation of contemporary furniture collections which will be presented at the Milan Furniture Festival in April before their release in September. Among the designers chosen to lead the dialogue between contemporary creation and traditional know-how is Denis Montel, who has created “the” Hermès chair, along with Eric Benqué. Around this event, and for Hermès’ first steps on the Designer’s Days circuit, Denis Montel will be designing a scenography in the new Paris shop for the home, where he is
also responsible for the interior architecture.
He will create a “jeu de chaise*” to recount the pure obviousness of this chair lined with leather, the Hermès
know-how which is involved, and the fantasy of the many different colours of leather which adorn it.
