Hermes on show

THE Hermes Maison in Shanghai welcomes the first in a cycle of touring “Hermes Heritage” exhibitions. The first, entitled “Harnessing the Roots,” focuses on the brand’s harnesses and metamorphosis, running through November 18.

The exhibition is centered on how everything changes at Hermes — every mechanism, shape, type of attachment, suspension or clasp, initially conceived to equip a saddle or harness, is transmitted and transformed, playing a part in the design of a whole new object.

Arranged in a thematic narrative, the exhibited objects come from three distinctive but complementary sources: the collection of treasures and small curiosities on the theme of travel that Emile Hermes built up throughout his life; the house’s Conservatory of Creations; and more recent collections.
