Interior architect, designer, and
founder of the agency RDAI, Rena Dumas (1937-2009) developed an
architectural style that was subtle and meticulous, with which she
marked her many creations for clients that included Hermès, Artémis,
Christie's, John Lobb and Yves Saint Laurent. Her sensitive approach to
space, along with her love for natural light, are evident in the Maison
Hermès Ginza in Tokyo, designed in collaboration with the architect
Renzo Piano, as well as in all Hermès's maisons and stores around the
world since the 1980s. Her studies of materials and colours nourished
her passion for design, from tableware to 'Pippa', her timeless
collection of nomadic furniture.


This detailed monograph,
including over 400 documents, photographs, plans and drawings, traces
her 55 years of creating, reflecting a talent that transcended fashion.
