Racking your brains on what to do as we approach another long weekend? May we suggest you swing by the Hermes’ Monde d’Hermes Kiosk pop-up that is taking place from May 12 to May 16 at the Marina Bay Sands outdoor Event Square overlooking the waterfront.
Inspired by newsstands that are peppered throughout Paris, the kiosk has been swathed in the house’s unmistakable, quintessential orange hue and will be open to the public from 10:30am till 8:30pm every day.
Just a word of advice if you’re planning to visit: do not skim on the sunscreen as temperatures are expected to reach highs of 35°C in the next four days.
The pop-up is centred around the latest edition of the French house’s bi-annual magazine, Le Monde d’Hermes, which is usually dished out to customers and VIPs. Head over to the kiosk to get your hands on a complimentary copy, which features witty and refreshing content surrounding the Spring/Summer 2022 collection.
Depending on when you arrive, you’ll get a chance to meet the various characters that are stationed at the kiosk. Keep your eyes peeled for ‘Mr Kiosk’ – the host of the pop-up who will gladly share just about everything there is to know about Le Monde d’Hermès with you. There’s also ‘The Portraitist’ who will create lovely portraits of attendees. Or bump into ‘The Poet’ who will personalise a haiku just for guests.
Young ones, or the young at heart, can also look forward to ‘The Sculptor’ and his balloon creations. Plant fanatics should look out for the appearance of ‘The Gardener’ who will be on-site to attend to an array of mini potted plants (we’re talking basil, mint and more) and to mete out gardening advice, all for free.
The kiosk also makes use of solar panels to help power the fairy lights come sunset – creating the perfect Instagram shot against the picturesque Marina Bay skyline at night.
