Hermes has reopened its store at Hilton Plaza East following a redesign inspired by local culture and natural landscapes.

Designed by Paris-based architecture studio RDAI, the boutique now spans two floors and showcases the house’s 16 metiers through a mix of geometric detailing and vibrant materials.

The expanded store offers Hermes’ leather goods, fashion accessories, perfumes and beauty products, jewellery, watches, and home collections.

Motifs inspired by Osaka appear alongside a winged horse and floating clouds, reflecting the house’s annual theme, ‘Venture beyond’.

The facade features Mino-yaki ceramic tiles in green and blue hues designed to mimic reflections on water. While interiors combine natural mineral surfaces in sandy tones with teal accents.

Storefront windows have also been reimagined by French artist Matthieu Cosse, whose installations combine celestial landscapes with theatrical and dreamlike elements.

Curated artworks from the Emile Hermes Collection and the Hermes Collection of Contemporary Photographs are displayed throughout the boutique.

The reopening of the Hilton Plaza East store follows a series of recent renovations by Hermes, including updated boutiques in Taipei and Hong Kong.
