Hermès first furniture range



Hermès will launch its first furniture range during the Salone del Mobile, running April 12-17.
Artistic director Pierre-Alexis Dumas has teamed up with designers including Enzo Mari, Denis Montel, and Antonio Citterio to create furnishings, furniture and accessories that will be available in select Hermès stores this fall.
In addition, as part of a new partnership with Italian textile manufacturer Dedar, the house will present a range of home fabrics, wallpaper and carpets.

Under the label of newly formed venture Faubourg Italia, this line will go on sale in Hermès as well as Dedar outposts in May.
