The reason was Natures Marines, Herm\u00e8s\u2019 enchanting new 34-piece porcelain tableware collection, which brings the beauty, movement and mystery of the sea to the dining table.<\/p>\n<p>Created over four years, the collection transforms an ordinary meal into an imaginary underwater expedition. More than 100 species of marine flora\u2014from algae and wakame to corals, sea fans and other delicate forms\u2014meander across plates, bowls, salad dishes, teapots and teacups. Together, they create a dreamlike seascape that appears to sway gently with the tides.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/1LS_1 The Nature Marines_.jpg\" width=\"550\" height=\"714\" alt=\"\"\/>&#13;<br \/>\nThe Nature Marines porcelain tableware is available at Herme\u0300s\u2019 Manila.\u00a0&#13;<\/p>\n<p>The exquisite designs were illustrated by British artist Katie Scott, whose fascination with 19th-century English botanical illustrations and the marine flora of the Welsh coastline is evident in every meticulous detail. Working with Herm\u00e8s Maison artistic directors Charlotte Macaux Perelman and Alexis Fabry, Scott translates the richness of the underwater world into a captivating palette of 30 tones.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/1LS_1 Closeup of the Herme\u0300s\u2019_.jpg\" width=\"550\" height=\"650\" alt=\"\"\/>&#13;<br \/>\nCloseup of the Herme\u0300s\u2019 place setting.\u00a0&#13;<\/p>\n<p>Soothing greens and mineral beiges meet sun-kissed oranges, coral reds and other vivid shades, giving each piece its own distinctive character while preserving the harmony of the collection. Adding another touch of magic, hand-painted gold threads trace the sculptural forms. They catch the light like sunbeams filtering through clear water, lending the porcelain a subtle shimmer and an almost otherworldly elegance.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/1LS_Mario Katigbak, Stores Specialists.jpg\" width=\"700\" height=\"480\" alt=\"\"\/>&#13;<br \/>\nMario Katigbak, Stores Specialists Inc. Group senior vice president, is flanked by author Frannie Jacinto and STAR lifestyle editor Millet Mananquil at Hermes event.\u00a0&#13;<\/p>\n<p>The result is unmistakably Herm\u00e8s: imaginative, meticulously crafted and wonderfully unexpected. Natures Marines is tableware, certainly, but it is also a small voyage of discovery. Each piece invites diners to pause, look closer and appreciate the artistry behind the everyday ritual of eating and entertaining.<\/p>\n<p>At the table, the collection creates an atmosphere of quiet wonder, encouraging conversation and curiosity. Long after the meal is over, its marine garden lingers in the imagination, leaving guests to dream of distant shores, hidden reefs, and the endless poetry of the sea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A visit to the beautifully appointed Herm\u00e8s boutique at Greenbelt 2 felt like taking a stylish plunge beneath&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":69678,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12919],"tags":[2866,92,4953,315,2864,314,2863,2865],"class_list":["post-69677","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-hermes","tag-celebrity","tag-entertainment","tag-hermes","tag-lifestyle","tag-philippine-star","tag-philippines","tag-philippines-news","tag-philstar"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69677","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=69677"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69677\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/69678"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=69677"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=69677"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=69677"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
