The Emotional Objects: Hermès Unveils 2025 Home Collection in Milan.

Hermès Home Collections was unveiled at Milan Design Week 2025 in a La Palota installation.

Pivot d’Hermès table by Tomás Alonso.

A master glassmaker melts the material to blow it, turn it, cut it, pinch it and shape it in line with the drawing that serves as a model. To create this object, the glassmaker superimposed two different coloured molten pastes onto the glass. Filled with water, these jugs present an infinite range of shades.

These leather baskets recall the tartan pattern that traditionally adorns horse blankets. The different colours of leather are applied to a saddle-stitched form to create a perfectly proportioned cylinder.

The large Points et Plans throw, designed by artist Amer Musa, recalls a child’s game, like draughts, on which multicoloured cashmere appliqué dots are stitched to a large, criss-crossed frame woven into cashmere fabric.

This thirty-three piece kaolin white porcelain table service is lined with friezes in soft or bright colours. The geometric motifs, hand-drawn and painted in watercolour by the artist Nigel Peake, bring us into the graphic universe of musical metre and its repeated fractions, inviting us to create a multitude of combinations.

This small table is the manifesto of a tightrope walker. Designer Tomás Alonso seeks balance, plays with ideas and materials, and combines paradoxes. Lacquered glass paints a rectilinear base whose colours come together like on a colour wheel. On the tabletop, a round box in sugi (Japanese cedar),
its band curved using an ancient Japanese technique, moves on an eccentric axis and gives the table its
unexpected movement.

In a Milan Design Week 2025 highlight, French luxury house Hermès unveiled a series of objects that exemplify their unparalleled commitment to craftsmanship, with an emphasis on glass exploration that was nothing short of magical. One of the most striking aspects of this collection is how Hermès approaches object creation with such philosophical depth. As their manifesto states, “To design an object, to make it, a box is needed.” This poetic concept frames each piece not simply as a product but as an emotional experience waiting to be revealed.

Conceived by long-term collaborator Charlotte Macaux Perelman, the exhibition in Milan’s La Pelota followed suit with its box concept. A pristine, ethereal space was populated by crisp white volumes with coloured light placed underneath, which painted the space with an almost watercolour effect. Within the boxes, glass took centre stage, with master artisans employing techniques from blowing and casting to layering and fusing.

The Casaque series showcases cold-cut coloured glass creating checkerboard patterns and stripes that shift perspective depending on the viewing angle. It’s a clever play of light that transforms ordinary vessels into dynamic visual experiences.

The Doublé d’Hermès vases push the boundaries even further, with glassmakers superimposing up to seven successive layers of molten glass to achieve deep colour gradations. When paired with contrasting leather cuffs in Epsom and Evercolor calfskin, these pieces create a stunning dialogue between opacity and transparency.

There’s the acres of fabric draped over the balustrade, men’s ties casually flipped over book spines, scarves free falling into the library atrium impartially observed by hundreds of surrounding books. Shot by one of our favourites, Frederik Vercruysse.

Meanwhile, Tomás Alonso’s Pivot d’Hermès side table is sheer genius and a personal favourite—a “manifesto of a tightrope walker” that balances lacquered glass, Japanese cedar, and rose thé Epsom calfskin in an arrangement that literally pivots with unexpected movement.

The sublime cashmere pieces demonstrate Hermès’ willingness to reimagine traditional textiles. The Points et Plans throw, designed by artist Amer Musa, features multi-coloured cashmere appliqué dots on ikat-woven stripes, while the H Partition throw incorporates actual 24-carat gold powder applied to hand-woven cashmere.

The dinner service by Nigel Peake deserves special mention too—thirty-three pieces of kaolin white porcelain lined with geometric friezes in soft and bright colours that evoke musical metre. It’s a playful approach to tableware that invites endless combinations.

What makes this collection so compelling is how each object embodies the Hermès philosophy: “An object can be an emotion.” Through meticulous craftsmanship and material innovation, these pieces transcend mere function to become vessels of feeling.

Never the ones to do things by half measures, Hermès staged another standout display during Milan Design Week 2021.

To create these oversized glass vases with their deep colour gradations, the master glassmaker combined molten materials using the casing technique, superimposing up to 7 successive layers of glass. The opacity of the supple leather cuff contrasts with the transparency of the glass, forming a three-colour geometric pattern.
