An Artistic Tribute to Nature’s Wonders

The design of the Carnets d’Equateur tea set pays tribute to the stunning and intricate wildlife sketches of renowned French artist Robert Dallet (1923-2006). His mastery of charcoal, pencil, ink wash, and gauche techniques come together in vibrant depictions of wild creatures, from majestic tigers and lions to unique animals like the Mazama, capuchin monkey, and woolly monkey.

These illustrations, brought to life on the celadon porcelain, are enhanced by delicate grey-blue foliage, feathers, and fur, creating a sense of motion and life. The porcelain is meticulously trimmed with 24-carat matte gold, adding a luxurious touch to each piece. Every detail—from the intricate strokes of fur to the fine features of the animals—reflects the dedication and artistry behind this Hermès collection.

The design philosophy behind the Carnets d’Equateur collection can be summed up in the words of Robert Dallet himself: “Nature is so beautiful that adding to it serves no purpose.” This sentiment is reflected in every piece of the set, where the elegance of nature’s design is captured with minimal intervention, allowing the beauty of the animals and the environment to speak for themselves. The use of natural colors, the graceful depiction of animals, and the understated elegance of the Hermès Tea Set Carnets d’Equateur all come together to create an unforgettable tea experience.
