GamFratesi designs animalistic Apple Watch window display for Herme?s
Danish studio GamFratesi created animals from metal wire for the Apple Watch Hermès window display in Japan (+ slideshow).
The design duo reinterpreted a set of animal drawings by wildlife artist Robert Dallet, who had a long-standing collaboration with the Hermès brand.
The faces of a panther, lion, flamingo and parrot have all been created using metal wires for the window installation, which is on display in Hermès stores in Japan.
Watches are hung in place of the animals' eyes, with images on the screens used to create the effect of pupils.
