“Pepi
de Boissieu runs a creative studio in which food is the central axis. She uses
design and art to create made-to-measure food installations and eating
experiences.
Food is a powerful communication tool and at the
same time a medium for generating experiences. Content primordial and the
regard of in-depth cultural research is crucial for each project. This studio
is passionate about the appreciation of food's quality, origin, esthetics,
history and its crafts.
Food-centred actions can help people relate to
each other, question their reality, and also simply get in good spirits,
marveling at the unexpected, while eating or drinking. Something that is
finally a part of our daily lives.”

In 2016 Hermès commissioned their window displays to
Luna Paiva, Argentinian artist known for
her bronze plant sculptures. She
produced real scale bronze Mediterranean plants. The opening event counted with three food installations; earth table, with baked sweet potatoes in clay, following the bronce process itself, tropical dessert table and Mediterranean cacti table.
