Shipping Container Hermes Style

Researching converted shipping containers at the moment.  Of course no one does it in quite as much style and seemingly effortlessly as Hermes.  Even the finish of the 'Hermes Orange' paint looks beautifully applied.

The mobile Hermes Silk Bar was in place for a Fall 2009-2010 promotion in Hong Kong showcasing their latest scarf designs, not so much a sales venture but  beautifully executed marketing complete with healthy drink concoctions and DJ's

Nice Knockers You've Got There - part 2

Here are more images from Beardmore of the very beautiful Deco inspired lever handles.  I usually much prefer knobs to lever handles, however I feel converted to these for next time

 

Nice Knockers You've Got There

Excited to see the Farmer Brothers in H&G this month, they are 1) really nice guys 2) really hard workers and 3) rescued Beardmores which in itself deserves them a medal.

I first came across them whilst working on Park Walk, just around the corner from their shop, during my time at Veere Grenney Associates.  They always had everything, if in doubt go to Farmer Bros, and we did.

Some years later I found out they bought Beardmores, at the time in liquidation, and it seems their venture has gone from strength to strength.  Well done them we need more of adventurers to rescue and keep beautiful, well made things alive and well, and if at all possible more of it out here!  Oh how I miss good craftsmanship and beautiful objects.

I have specified these knobs from the Anthologie collection for a project out here
