Hermès In The Making: Delve into the Mastery of Hermès Craftsmanship

Embark on a Journey into the Timeless Craftsmanship and Artistry of Hermès at Icon Siam’s Exclusive Exhibition.

Icon Siam invites you to witness the craftsmanship of Hermès at the ‘Hermès In The Making’ exhibition. Immerse yourself in the world of valuable craftmanship, including leather goods, scarves, and glazed ceramics.

Hermès beckons you to experience the ‘Hermès In The Making’ exhibition, a showcase of true artisans demonstrating their invaluable skills up close. This exclusive event runs until December 3, 2023, at The Pinnacle, Icon Siam.

The Hermès exhibition is designed in an open space, drawing inspiration from the expert craftsmen’s workbenches. The meticulously crafted products are designed for longevity, with the ability to be repaired and passed down through generations.

Nearly 10 branches of Hermès craftsmen have traveled with their beloved toolkits to demonstrate the unique techniques of each art form and share their specialized knowledge. The event features live demonstrations, workshops, interactive activities, and short films.

Activities are spread throughout the venue, allowing you to choose and witness what interests you the most. From hand-stitched leatherwork, working with animal hides, and crafting silk scarves, to designing, color separation printing, and hand-painting glazed ceramics, the event showcases the diverse skills of Hermès craftsmen.

Hermès Timeline: Established in 1837 by Thierry Hermes in Paris, initially producing leather goods for horse riding and carriages. Over the years, the brand expanded its offerings, producing made-to-measure horse harnesses and introducing sporting equipment like golf bags, gloves, and jackets.

In 1937, Hermès ventured into the world of fashion with the production of silk scarves, gaining fame when Grace Kelly used one to shield her head. The iconic Birkin bag was born in 1984, designed for Jane Birkin, offering a spacious and practical carry-all.

As of 2000, Hermès opened stores globally, from New York’s Madison Avenue to the trendy districts of Tokyo, Seoul, and beyond. The brand’s legacy, spanning six generations of craftsmen, continues to evolve and flourish, covering a wide range of artistic endeavors, from fabric weaving to jewelry making.

‘Hermès In The Making’ is the seventh installment of a global exhibition that commenced in Copenhagen in October 2024. The exhibition will travel to Mexico City at the beginning of 2027.
