First monograph on Rena Dumas, interior designer for Hermès maisons and
stores around the world Features over 400 documents, photographs, plans
and drawings Interior architect, designer, and founder of the agency
RDAI, Rena Dumas (1937-2009) developed an architectural style that was
subtle and meticulous, with which she marked her many creations for
clients that included Hermès, Artémis, Christie's, John Lobb and Yves
Saint Laurent. Her sensitive approach to space, along with her love for
natural light, are evident in the Maison Hermès Ginza in Tokyo, designed
in collaboration with the architect Renzo Piano, as well as in all
Hermès's maisons and stores around the world since the 1980s. Her
studies of materials and colors nourished her passion for design, from
tableware to 'Pippa', her timeless collection of nomadic furniture. This
detailed monograph, including over 400 documents, photographs, plans and
drawings, traces her 55 years of creating, reflecting a talent that
transcended fashion.
