The House of Hermès
by Jilian Sanz

The famed French fashion house furnishes your home

There’s no question that the Hermès label carries a lot of weight. From fine fashions to accessories coveted the world over, there’s a certain assurance of quality and supreme taste that coincides with anything donning the Hermès brand. So when it came to furnishings, it was only appropriate that Hermès choose to reissue the iconic works of Jean-Michel Frank in their most recent release, J.M. par Hermès. The selection of pieces being offered are amongst the most legendary from the arsenal of creations delivered by the iconic designer, and of course, stay true to the core spirit of the original collection. This, the Club Armchair Confortable, is just one example of the lush offerings.  Crafted from natural beech wood and donning solid oak legs, the piece is upholstered in plush sheepskin, making it a decadent addition to any home. The collection, which originally launched at the Rive Gauche store, will be featured in certain U.S. Hermès outposts, six to be precise, but while not all stores will display the furnishings, all USA Hermès boutiques will be able to order the pieces.
