Wonders of the Eye for Hermès

We were invited by Hermès to create the Christmas window display for their Stockholm store. Our interpretation of the theme ‘‘Légèreté’’ — from French, meaning ‘‘lightness’’ — invites passersby to experience feelings of harmony and warmth this holiday season.

The window itself acts as a meeting point where four anthropomorphic figures capture attention through their curious gaze. They transport us to a magical dimension where the treasured Hermès objects become one with the characters. Through their animated eyes, the figures interact with each other and with onlookers. The eye movement follows the rhythms of the day: awake during opening hours, dozy morning and evening, and fast asleep at night. Every now and then, the eyes independently morph into expressions of tender togetherness and festivity: beating hearts, a singing bird, fireworks.
