Summer Palaces

Summer palaces offer idealized images of a French summer, inhabited by gushing water and radiant sunshine. Inspired by the utopian architecture of Claude-Nicolas Ledoux and Étienne-Louis Boullée and the aesthetics of the French garden, these windows reinterpret the building at 24 rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré as a lush palace where Hermès objects come to life.

Summer palaces is composed of three scenes: a fountain, an island and a garden where the natural elements of water, sunlight and plants are represented by pencil drawings and felt-tip balls. The pointillist atmosphere of these summer palaces is a reference to the pictorial movement of the same name, which used fragmented brushstrokes to bring out the different effects of light and water.

A multidisciplinary creative agency founded by Isabelle Daëron in 2018, Studio Idaë arose from a reflection on the use of natural flows — water, air, light — in public space.

The Studio has, ever since, developed an approach based on research and education, focusing on the urban, environmental and societal challenges of the ecological transition.

Driven by a poetical & committed team of designers, Studio Idaë applies its refined, assertive graphic signature to projects of various scales. From urban devices to mediation objects and supports, or scenography, the agency’s protean contributions always strive at others — their needs, their desires, and their evolution.

The agency operates within a network of local companies and collaborates with dedicated craftspeople to adapt to the specific characteristics of each territory. Together, they work towards the most appropriate and relevant response — between narration and mediation.

Pauline Avrillon, product designer graduated from École Boulle joined the studio in 2017, and works on urban design projects. Angèle Fourteau,  product designer graduated from ECAL works on set design projects since 2022. Eléna Hervé Caro joined the team in 2023 as office manager.
