Inside the Opening of Hermès Palo Alto

Hermès recently opened its 34th store in the United States, at the Stanford Shopping Center in Palo Alto, with a lively cocktail party attended by Apple’s Jony Ive, with wife Heather, Cisco CEO Chuck Robbins, SF 49ers’ Pierre Garcon, Apple COO Jeff Williams, and Sako Fisher, among others.

Designed by the Parisian architecture agency RDAI, under the direction of Denis Montel, the boutique has been designed to embrace natural light and the beautiful Stanford surroundings while showcasing the Hermès collection of métiers among digital installations by artists such as Eric Vernhes.

Contemporary artist Eva Jospin crafted signature cardboard landscapes, inspired by the Northern Californian environment, as a backdrop for the event.
