Pierre Marie
A long-time collaborator of various luxury brands, Pierre Marie’s artistic practice combines narration with ornament and finds its full expression in working with master craftsmen. With a background in fashion and creative art direction, his work has found many applications to revive and magnify the tradition of decorative arts. He has in particular developed a passion for the arts of tapestry and stained glass over the years, which are at the heart of his studio’s enterprise. Over the years, Pierre Marie has engaged in a creative dialogue with artisans of varying expertise: stained glass, tapestry, metalwork or glasswork to name a few. This makes for a complex and coherent world, where the ornament serves the object.
Stained glass
Pierre Marie’s encounter with stained glass was instrumental to the evolution of his practice, and has become a central application of the projects carried out by Pierre Marie Studio. Our commitment to work in dialogue with our partner artisan, the Ateliers Duchemin, and with an understanding of the constraints that are inherent to the medium, mirrors our concerted effort of bringing back stained glass in the future of decorative arts.
Rugs & Tapestries
A constant in decorative arts, with a clear practical function of managing interior temperatures, the art of weaving rugs and tapestries presents a natural canvas for a rich visual vocabulary, and as such is at the heart of Pierre Marie Studio’s endeavors. Pierre Marie’s first tapestry, «Ras El Hanout», was handwoven in Aubusson by the historic Manufacture Robert Four, our distinguished partner craftsman. The piece was presented in 2018, and we have since been able to bring such ornamental hand-woven pieces into many interiors.
Fabrics
A natural continuation of Pierre Marie’s ornamental approach to drawing, the creation of original interior fabrics has become a feature of the projects delivered by Pierre Marie Studio. Alongside collections of textile objects, such as throw pillows and blankets, we experiment with various techniques such as jacquard and print.
Blown Glass
Over the years, Pierre Marie has designed hand blown glass objects, starting with vases that have accompanied most of his exhibitions. That exploration of the glass material with master craftsman Atelier Gamil has found its full expression in creating lighting pieces and lamps, such as the Poppy Lamp for «Horn of Plenty», or the Lupara Candelabras.

Hermès
For Hermès, what began as a maker of leather equestrian goods for European noblemen would eventually grow into one of the most storied fashion labels in the world. In 1837, German-born French entrepreneur Thierry Hermès opened a saddle and harness purveyor in Paris. Gradually, the house extended into accessories and luggage for its riders, and today, in paying homage to its origins, the family-run luxury brand resurfaces horse motifs in everything from clothing and modernist jewelry to pillows and handbags.
The first top-handled bag ever produced by Hermès was the Haut à courroies, which made its debut in 1892. A tall bag secured with a folded leather flap (fastened with bridle-inspired straps), it was designed to transport riding boots and a harness.
As the world made the switch from horse to automobile, the bag adapted, becoming a multifunctional travel satchel instead of a designated saddlebag. Today, 120 years later, the HAC remains in Hermès’s line — and its distinctive flap and clasping straps have laid the groundwork for some of the house’s other iconic bags.
In the 1930s, Robert Dumas (son-in-law to Émile-Maurice Hermès, Thierry’s grandson) designed a smaller, trapezoidal take on the flap bag with a handle and two side straps. Later, actress Grace Kelly, then engaged to Prince Rainier of Monaco, is said to have used one of these bags to conceal her pregnancy during the 1950s. Because she was photographed constantly, the coverage catapulted her handbag to international popularity.
In 1977, Hermès officially renamed the model for her, and the Kelly bag was born. Each Kelly bag takes between 18 and 25 hours to produce, and its 680 hand stitches owe solely to one Hermès artisan.
Robert Dumas was also responsible for another one of the brand’s most iconic offerings: the launch of its first silk scarf on the occasion of Hermès’s 100th anniversary in 1937. Based on a woodblock designed by Dumas and printed on Chinese silk, the accessory was an immediate hit.
Today, vintage Hermès scarves, typically adorned in rich colors and elaborate patterns, serve many functions, just as they did back then. Well-heeled women wear it on their heads, around their necks and, in a genius piece of cross-promotion, tied to the straps of their Hermès bags. Kelly even once used one as a sling for her broken arm.
In 1981, Robert Dumas’s son Jean-Louis Dumas, then Hermès chairman, found himself sitting next to French actress and musician Jane Birkin on a plane, where she was complaining about finding a suitable carryall for the necessary accoutrements of motherhood. After the two travelers were properly introduced, Birkin helped design Jean-Louis’s most famous contribution to the Hermès canon: the Birkin bag, a roomy, square catchall with the HAC’s trademark leather flap top and the addition of a lock and key.
Owing to the brand’s legendary commitment to deft, handcrafted construction, the Birkin is an investment that is coveted by collectors everywhere.
While the Kelly and Birkin may be standouts, gracing the arms of everyone from royal heiresses to hip-hop stars in the past few decades, the handbags are but a small part of Hermès’s fashion offerings.
Since the 1920s, the brand has produced some of the most desirable leather goods in the world. There’s the Constance bag, a favorite of Jacqueline Kennedy, the recently relaunched 1970s-era Evelyne and, on the vintage market, a slew of designs dating back to the 1920s.
