Designer Avant-Garde Pop-Up Cafes

The Hermes Cafe is Enhancing the Retail Experience

— July 10, 2018 — Lifestyle
Hermes is famed for its unconventional designs, so it should come as no surprise to hear that the newly established Hermes pop-up cafe, located in the brand's flagship store in London, elicits the same out-of-the-box experience.

This cafe embodies the French, avant-garde fashion house's aesthetic, offering guests a space to relax after shopping, while still experiencing all the brand has to offer. The outdoor cafe serves as a whimsical oasis and is embellished with over 3,000 floating ping pong balls, unique textiles, sculptured garden displays and more. The majority of the tableware used in the cafe is retailed through the brand, offering an extension of the retail experience that feels more organic, relaxed and magical.
