    HERMÈS

    Berger was the first American artist ever commissioned to design a line for Hermès. "Only the horse knows how the saddle fits," read Hermès' original slogan, which Berger reinterpreted as "only the hand knows how the object feels." Inspired by the company's humble beginnings as a saddle shop, Berger created objects as simple, as useful, and as pure as a bridle for a horse. Her goal for the venerable fashion house was to create "heirlooms for the next generation." Poised between old and new, ritual and function, The Balance Line is a collection of bowls, water jugs, creamers, oil and vinegar cruets, and salt and pepper cellars.
