INTO THE HERMÈS WINDOWS
Wave Machine

Before satellites and sonar, sailors mapped the world by motion, waves, stars, tides, and instinct. This kinetic window display created by Artist Holly Hendry taps into the spirit of Venture beyond (L’appel du large) to reimagine the ancient practice of mapping, presenting navigation as a craft and poetry in pursuit of adventure.

It is a meditation on rhythm, creation, and the timeless allure of an adventure, with Hermès objets taking center stage as protagonists of their own stories.
