The Maison Pierre Hermé Paris gave free reign to an exceptional artist, Nicolas Buffe, to imagine a unique universe that would be revealed across all of the Pierre Hermé Paris boutiques around the world throughout 2016.

Welcome to a magical universe!

Having Pierre Hermé’s work dialogue with that of Nicolas Buffe’s multifaceted and pluridisciplinary universes led to the creation of a series of drawings calling on ancestral myths, manga culture, as well as Renaissance and Baroque art.
