Why introduce the Prix Émile Hermès?

Always looking to the future, Hermès believes in the creative force of youth and wishes to support this creativity in the name of the House. The Prix Émile Hermès was born of the desire to discover new talent and nourish the creativity of young designers. The theme provides them with an opportunity to make an original and essential contribution to the ambitions of our company.

Design at Hermès is expressed through:
• an aesthetic that reflects the absolute mastery of the functionality of objects
• a close relationship between tradition and modernity –tradition being constantly revived and reinterpreted in light of modernity
• innovation in everyday objects
