Hermès Makes a Splash on the Left Bank

For the first time in its 173-year history, Hermès has ventured across the Seine to open a boutique on the Left Bank. But although this shop is the house’s second-largest (after the Right Bank flagship) it surpasses the "store" concept on several counts.

A 1935 Art Deco landmark, this site was originally the Lutetia swimming pool—although in more recent decades it has also been a Dorothée Bis boutique, a mattress store, and a designer outlet. In its new configuration, it makes a contemporary counterpoint to the mothership: where tradition prevails in a warren of departments there, here it is all open space, freestanding counters and skylights.

As the first visitors arrived, president Patrick Thomas said, "We don’t consider this a new store—we feel more like saying welcome to our maison."

Guests are greeted by an in-house florist, Baptiste Pitou; a bookshop invites them to browse. Downstairs on the landmark mosaic floors, the celebrated scarves, ties, perfumes, jewelry, fashions, and accessories are arranged in freestanding displays while towering huts in braided ash wood frame the location’s main events: lifestyle collections including tableware, home textiles, carpets, wallpaper, silver, objets and re-editions of 1930s-era furniture by Jean-Michel Frank and Pippa nomadic pieces upholstered in the same leather used for those Birkin bags. Scattered throughout are items from the house’s latest line "Petit h," made entirely from leftover cuttings. For instance: a fishnet tote wrought from the remains of printed silk squares, a bar-shaped lamp made of delicately painted coffee cups.

Speaking of which, a small café/tea bar called Le Plongeoir serves 17 blends of Le Palais des Thés teas and light lunches—ideal for soaking up the ambiance, and sure to become one of the hottest tables in town.

17 rue de Sevrès, 6th.

Hermes Viral finger skate video

Hermès is really concentrating on their viral communication right now. After their ‘J’aime mon Carre’ they keep on trying, by all means to reach internet users. By launching lesailes.hermes.com, an interactive microsite featuring their products related to different themes including video, cool animation, downloadable screensavers and more. My favorite is definitely the Finger skate video by Alexis Milant (watch below)…

How SMALL is your world?

TRENDING IN 2011: 10 MAJOR TRENDS TO START THINKING ABOUT NOW!

How SMALL is your world? Are you thinking BIG enough in terms of just how many big trends are going to impact your future?

Many people ask me how I spend my time in nailing many of the trends that will redefine society, industries, markets and nations into the future….

It involves a lot of research and a great deal of listening to other experts. But it also comes from the fact that I spend my time as a speaker at corporate meetings, massive association events and board retreats, with the resultant opportunity of seeing what many of the most innovative organizations in the world are focused upon. Just take a look at my client list, and you’ll get a sense that I have a constant stream of global executive level insight that drives my view of the future. Take a look at the track record of what I’ve been up to. There’s some pretty solid and significant insight happening here. Take a look at what world class innovators do that others don’t do.

My trending observations also involves a lot of common sense. Take the “expectation gap” which I outline below. This is a pretty significant trend, and it’s pretty well blindingly obvious when you think about it,

So what comes next? Here’s a quick list of 10 trends that you could be thinking about as we go into 2011. I’ve got dozens — no, hundreds — more. Hang out on this blog, track my thoughts, jump in, and let’s continue to innovate our way into the future!
