Each year during Milan’s Salone del Mobile, Hermès takes over a space in the city and unveils its new home collection as if it were an installation. This year, the setting is La Pelota, a former court for the Basque ball game tucked into the Brera district. The new pieces are characteristically confident: a table by Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby whose arched form recalls the oval of a racetrack, inlaid entirely in marble; a new homeware line in hammered palladium-plated metal combined with leather, horsehair, and wood; and a series of cashmere plaids handwoven in Nepal, some threaded with linen, resist-dyed, and assembled by hand. —Elena Clavarino
