I've moved on...
...to a different domain. Why, what were you thinking? The truth is, I just woke up one day and decided it's time for a change—a metamorphosis, if you will; or, in layman's terms, if Britney can shave her head, then maybe so can I? Nevertheless, it's been a rather handsome 10 years of talking to you, and thank you for putting up with all my moodswings and terrible dad jokes. Fear not! The hormonal imbalance and jokes are more terrible on CUBICLE, see you there.

Postpone your breakfast plans by one hour and make sure to catch the last of the Hermès Wanderland exhibition at the Saatchi Gallery in London tomorrow*. If you’ve stuck around the past few weeks and discovered the curious art of flânerie with me, you will also want to experience this. Eleven rooms, each with a reference to urban wandering, collecting and peeping – it’s a grand manifestation of the Hermès’ profound belief in flânerie. Just like their window displays and playfulness in branding. And if any objects seem a bit familiar, it is because they are precisely the ones you’ve seen in part 2 of my little Hermès adventure series – straight from the cosy Collection Emile Hermes, blessed by Menehould de Bazelaire, Director of the patrimony of culture at Hermès, of course.

See? The eggs can wait.

*There is still time to visit the Hermès Wanderland exhibition; 9th April to 2nd May (closes at 1pm last day); Saatchi Gallery, Duke of York’s HQ, King’s Road, London, SW3 4RY. Free entrance.

  4. I don’t think I’ve ever wanted to go to an exhibition so badly before! It really looks like a “wander”-land & I think I’d be able to spend hours there amongst all the obscure displays. These posts from you just kept getting better & more intriguing & I really wish I could go :(
    I wish there was one in Australia! Thanks for sharing though, your photography always catches the atmosphere perfectly.

  7. Amazing atmosphere! I looks like from another dimension.

  8. In all my years of living in London, I’m personally ashamed of myself for having never visited the Saatchi gallery! I’ve heard so many good things and these photographs really sell it…unfortunately, I only saw this post now and so the exhibition has probably closed. There is a certain haunting beauty about it, a magical darkness and simplicity that makes time almost feel still.
