Hermès’ 2018 home collection sees graphic prints being

executed with the utmost warmth and finesse. Think paper

place mats, bamboo stools (dubbed the “Karumi”),

curved leather trays and Raoul Dufy-inspired jacquard

wallpapers, all besieged with lines, louvres and lattices

in a rich, earthy palette. The furnishing fabrics

are also a lavish offering: Imagine jazzing up

the little one’s room with a circus-themed frieze,

drawn from French artist Annie Faivre’s silk scarf.

Prize 2018 fi nalist, Ashley Yeo

MASTER OF DETAILS

Ashley Yeo creates some of the most ethereal artworks with

simple tools: Pencils, paper, scalpel blades and watercolour. Known

for her poignant black and white drawings and dreamy paintings, the

27-year-old’s artworks invoke feelings of lightness, mindfulness and introspection

from anyone who gazes on them. Even more intricate, however, are the

hand-cut paper sculptures that have garnered her global recognition.

Her most recent feat was being picked as one of 30 fi

nalists for

Loewe’s Craft Prize 2018—the fi rst and only

Singaporean—from 1,900 international submissions.

Her entry, “Arbitrary Metrics II” is a series of cylindrical

and cube paper sculptures that showcase

a level of intricate fi ligree that is

more commonly found

in metalwork.
