Pippa Folding 3 Seater Bench by Rena Dumas for Hermès Paris

Rena Dumas (1937-2009) was a French architect and designer. She designed the Pippa collection together with Peter Coles in 1987, which initially consisted of a desk, a stool and a lounger. In 1993, further objects followed such as the armrest chair, screen, stool with tray and the 3-seater bench.

The 3-seater bench is made of pear wood, cowhide and brass fittings.

The Pippa series has developed over the decades into a real classic from Hermès. While the stool, desk and other objects are still in production, the 3-seater bench has been removed from the range and is not available on the official website today.
