Hermès petit h holiday factory

The petit h atelier is an open playground for the exceptional métiers of Hermès, established by artistic director, Pascal Mussard.

Here, unique objects are re-invented by expert craftspeople.

petit h is about transformation and fantasy.

This holiday season, I was given the opportunity to share my take on these themes in Hermès boutiques around Manhattan.

Visitors of the Madison Avenue store view the animation interactively, turning a Captain's wheel to change from one vignette to the next, or pulling a lever to see more unique animation.
