Module H by Shigeru Ban is a collaboration design project with the ostentatious French Brand Hermès.

The project pertains to a [partition system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harp-system) for Hermès' home furnishing collection showcased at Milan Design Week 2012. Japanese architect Shigeru Ban intertwines fashion and home design with an eye-illusory 'H' design effect. The screen is made entirely of aluminum panels that will style any interior space or act as a stylish cover for existing walls.

The signature 'H' of Hermès is assembled into a repetitive pattern that is now iconic. The luxurious partition wall can accommodate hanging fixtures that can act as enhancements; leather squares similar to the colors of the Hermès' fashion collection can be upholstered onto the wall.

Module H by Shigeru Ban demonstrates well-crafted designs in the collaboration between [architecture and luxury fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dust-order).
