For the festive season, Pierre Hermé takes us on a world tour of flavors. His collection for Christmas and New Year is the fruit of a partnership with artist Gianpaolo Pagni, and offers an unprecedented culinary voyage. These logs, inspired by Pagni's creations, are an ode to the flavors of the world, combining shapes, colors and emotions.
The "Destinations" concept is a celebration of taste. Pagni's graphic creations, whether round, rectangular or curved, reveal a richness of hues that captivate us. Pagni's art is characterized by the use of geographical maps, creating motifs that are repeated and superimposed, leaving the viewer immersed in a sea of emotions.
Between the 8 Yule logs, the exceptional piece and the 4 nomad entremets that can be shipped anywhere in France for a dreamlike New Year, the creativemacaroons , the Advent calendars and the gourmet chocolates, the end of the year promises to be rich in flavors.
This year, we're unveiling an exceptional piece called Origine. An exceptional creation in the shape of a map of the world in dark chocolate, reflecting Pagni's design heritage. The singular creation inside, an ode to chocolate, offers a variety of textures:
All this for €475, designed for 12 people
