Immersive Experience Awaits at Hermès in New York
Step into a world of intrigue and elegant craftsmanship at Hermès’ latest installation, Mystery at the Grooms’, set to take place at Pier 36 in New York City from June 19th through June 29th. This interactive experience invites guests into a fictional French estate, cleverly designed to reflect the storied lineage of the brand, which first made a name as a saddle and harness maker in 1837. The beautifully orchestrated event intertwines mystique and luxury with a compelling narrative: the grooms’ horses have gone missing.
Engaging with Equestrian Heritage
As you explore the six meticulously constructed rooms—ranging from the Head Grooms’ Office to the Dormitory—guests can use a mobile-based game to uncover clues tied to Hermès’ rich equestrian heritage. The installation is not merely a feast for the eyes; it’s a celebration of the brand’s craftsmanship. Through its unique spaces, you’ll find an astonishing array of Hermès creations, from apparel to ceramics, cleverly camouflaging the missing herd.
A Scented and Soundscaped Journey
Each space transforms with varying lighting, sounds, and even scents, crafting an immersive atmosphere. Visitors may find themselves lifting silver domes to reveal the hidden steeds or deciphering codes in the Head Grooms' Office. With refined details, such as polished oak and custom textiles, every moment within this installation enriches the Hermès narrative while allowing participants to physically engage with designs that convey the brand's luxury and artistry.
Performers Enhancing the Experience
Enhancing the narrative are performers dressed as grooms, guided by a fictional character named 'Mr. Honore,' who provides clues and adds an element of theatricality. This interaction not only engages visitors but also provides a deeper connection to the artwork and craftsmanship behind Hermès products.
The Gift of Completion
For those clever enough to locate the entire horse herd, the experience culminates in a delightful parting gift—a specially designed notebook and coloring book courtesy of Hermès. This clever integration of tangible rewards enhances the sense of accomplishment and engagement with the installation.
Traveling the World
Originally debuted in Shanghai, Mystery at the Grooms’ will not only be available in New York but will also continue its journey across international cities, such as Tokyo and Paris. Offering a blend of culture, art, and exclusivity, this installation exemplifies the ongoing fusion between luxury and creative storytelling.
If you’re in New York City, don’t miss this opportunity. Dive into this unique blend of luxury, craftsmanship, and mystery, and experience first-hand the intersection of art and commerce that Hermès encapsulates.
