Art, refreshments and the magic of numbers at the orange Hermès kiosk in Barcelona

For the third consecutive year, Hermès takes its traveling kiosk to Barcelona to celebrate Sant Jordi. For only three days it will be open to the public from 11 in the morning to 7 in the afternoon at the intersection of Avenida de Pau Casals and Diagonal.

The iconic orange of the most luxurious French brand colors the walls of the kiosk, which serves to bring the public closer to its magazine Le Monde d'Hermés, always focused on the annual theme chosen to represent the values ​​and objectives of the house. This year it is The Spirit of the Faubourg, – it could be translated from French as suburb – “a labyrinth that is intractable to logic because it is a dreamlike creation dreamed by Émile Hermès.”

Anyone who comes to the kiosk on one of the three days that it will be present in the Catalan capital will receive as a gift a copy of this year's spring-summer issue of Le Monde d'Hermès and a small orange berry plant to commemorate Sant Jordi. . Visitors are also invited to enjoy drinks and delicious snacks, discover the future thanks to a numerologist or take photos with a Polaroid camera that are delivered in a completely unique envelope for each visitor.

The luckiest ones will be able to get a personalized illustration from an artist who will be present every day the kiosk is open. Pets are more than welcome and are offered fresh water and a small treat.
