HermèsMatic Pop-up Store
From Europe to Japan and to then to the UAE, we were proud to be trusted as the contractor for the HermèsMatic Pop-up Store.
In light of 2018 being the 80th anniversary of the launch of its famous silk ‘Carré’, Hermès invited the public to bring their pre-loved scarves into their pop-up store for a new lease of life.
Brief
The desired location, City Walk, Dubai, created an interesting challenge for the team to create a custom-built structure to float over the permanent water feature.
Solution
We made the technical calculations and built the entire geometric diamond structure in-house. Half floating, half fixed to the ground level, the substructure over the fountain was made up of floating water cubes with a top layer of decking, weighed down at either side.
We understand that innovation and attention to detail are vital in creating a hassle-free experience that will not only respect the brand’s philosophy but also match its exclusivity. This semi-floating platform was an exciting project which required constant recalculations of weight load going onto the platform throughout the whole process.
