“OUR LOST PARADISE”

LOST PARADISE 2020

When COVID 19 hit the world Hermès decided to put a hold on their anual theme “A house of innovation” and requested that we dream a positive outcome to make people escape from the pandemic.

“Renaissance” was the proposed theme and “lost paradise” was concieved. I imagined a world where little people would rediscover their playing ground (who in it’s turn was going through a re-birth) and cherish it. There was a need to show the maintenance and care that had to be given in order to enjoy it’s beauty. There was also the fun and playful side of using what you have.

This lovely entrepreneur in Dubai created a Vegan brand, selling bites of goodness, and asked if I could create some characters for her upcoming Kid bars. We developed 3 characters for which the style was based on small children’s stickers in French called «Gomettes».
My idea was that she could include some «Gomettes» in the packs, for kids to recreate the characters.

“A HOUSE OF PLAY”

Inspired by contraption and digital games like monument valley, are the objects part of the game or are they playing?
