The latest Hermès tableware collection inspired by the maison’s equestrian roots intertwines tradition, modernity and whimsy

At the intersection of fine craftsmanship and luxury tableware is Hermès, having long set the standard for refinement and artistic innovation. Hermès Tableware has become known for its considered use of colour, materials and designs to craft rich narratives, and its latest Tressages Équestres line is no different.

At its core, Tressages Équestres celebrates the art of braiding—a craft deeply embedded in the harness-making traditions that define Hermès’s equestrian roots. The collection comprises 27 meticulously designed pieces, including an array of hollowware and serving dishes, all curated under the artistic direction of Benoit Pierre Emery, creative director of Objets et La Table at Hermès.

Crafted from the finest kaolin white porcelain, the pieces are a gorgeous canvas for intricate motifs created by artist Virginie Jamin. Known for her mastery of precision, Jamin’s designs balance figurative and abstract elements, creating a tactile depth that invites both visual and sensory exploration. Vibrant and sophisticated colourways such as zesty lemon, fresh mint, and petrol blue interplay with natural hues, echoing the fibres and leather that inspired the collection’s design.

What sets the Tressages Équestres collection apart is its playful approach to composition. The emblems vary across pieces, offering a dynamic interplay of scales and patterns. This versatility ensures that each arrangement tells a unique story, transforming the dining table into a tableau of interconnected narratives.
