Behold, a foal!
“My designer, Marjolijn Mandersloot, specialises in producing giant, life-size or oversized animals. I am the newest member of a family comprising an elegant fawn, an exotic giraffe, and a collection of pandas. My skin is made from soft leathers, and microbeads make my body extremely mobile.” -

Terrazzo: a material full of treasures
“My story began in antiquity, when unused fragments of marble from villas or statues were combined with chalk to form a noble and original material known as Terrazzo. In a laboratory in Veneto, Nicolas Daul and Julien Demanche – the two designers who created me – struck on the idea of using this age-old know-how and adding a petit h touch. I am made up of pieces of Hermès’ history: metal buckles, padlocks, mother-of-pearl buttons, and more. I am a shape-shifter; I can transform into a coffee table or jewellery.”
Welcome to the petit h workshop
In a mind-expanding research unit at the crossroads of all the house’s know-how, a brand-new kind of creative team works hand in hand with artists and designers. Their goal is to take a new look at materials, to reinvent, innovate and create dreamlike, useful objects with the help of our craftspeople.
