g.pivaudran, a French company 100% family-owned since 1948, designs and produces innovative, made-to-measure aluminum objects for the global perfume, cosmetics and spirits markets.
Building on past experience, the prestigious French fashion house Hermès has once again called on the expertise of g.pivaudran to create two of the centerpieces for the new men's fragrance H24.
g.pivaudran produced two sets for H24, consisting of an aluminum cover assembled with a ballasted plastic insert, and an aluminum shouldered hoop also assembled with a plastic insert.
" We are very proud to have worked alongside the Hermès teams on the development of H24, in a fine continuation of Voyage d'Hermès and Jour d'Hermès. stresses Marc Pivaudran, President of g.pivaudran.
Aluminium enhances the hood
The hood is made of deep-drawn aluminum, with a "high gloss" appearance and a silver tint, on which a fine intaglio engraving of the Hermès brand is placed on a stepped plate. On the flanks are two hollowed, radiated edgings that emphasize the shapes of the hood, while a rolled edge at the base softens the line.
Inside this aluminum cap, a polypropylene insert is assembled at high speed on an automatic machine, with internal engraving of the brand.
This component, made in partnership with Rovip, has a background engraving of the Hermès brand. It also features 3 notches for clipping into the fret groove, flush with the top of the aluminum plate.
The design of this delicate adjustment, in partnership with Hermès teams, showcases g.pivaudran's expertise in offering an extremely high quality cap/fret assembly on the bottle produced by Pochet du Courval.
Pairing the aluminum plate with the hood was necessary to harmonize the aesthetics of the whole, as was the gloss level of the plate, in which the reflection of the hood drowns elegantly.
" Fitting the plastic insert under the aluminum plate in a very specific section enabled us to control the orientation, so as to ensure continuity between the aluminum plate skirt and the bottle. "explains Hervé Delaigue, g.pivaudran Sales and Development Director.
The cap covers all three sizes: 50 ml, 100 ml and the 125 ml refill.
