Pierre Hermé: caught in the game when Easter turns into a chess match
This year, Pierre Hermé is not offering an Easter collection. He orchestrates a playful, sensory experience on the borderline between art and chocolate.
The spirit of the game as a common thread
Pierre Hermé imagines Easter as a game of strategy. Chocolate becomes a pretext for play, reflection and emotion. Chess, a checkers, dominoes or labyrinths invite themselves into the shapes. Each creation combines balance, surprise and mastery. The craftsmanship is astonishing, without ever losing sight of what’s essential: the pleasure of biting into it.
Stunningly precise parts
Among the must-haves, theCavalier egg evokes chess, ready to leap onto the plate. As for the Labyrinth, it draws a chocolate enigma. More ambitious, the Culbuto Bishop seems to move on its own, oscillating like a living sculpture. Each piece recounts a strategy, a tension, a suspended moment.
Taste and design intertwine
The Pris au Jeu signature piece fascinates with its interior cut-out. A central void dialogues with a visually hypnotic moving bead. Even more spectacular is Engrenages, a giant work of complex mechanics. Each piece seems animated, almost autonomous. It’s chocolate, yes. But it’s also an installation.
Strategic pastries and viennoiseries
Hermé also plays with textures in his desserts. Aurore, with pecans, unfolds a precise structure, full of contrasts. Its twin, Aura, explores daring combinations: strawberry, lemongrass, coconut. Even Easter brioches, like the Ispahan Dove, take a mischievous twist on the classics.
Fun in all formats
For those who can’t wait, Pierre Hermé also offers chocolate dominoes, filled bars and a new take on frying. Each bite continues the story. The coherence is total, from the visual to the taste. Let yourself be carried away. Play. Taste. And above all, share.
With “Pris au Jeu”, Pierre Hermé transforms Easter into a sensory playground. A subtle balance between technical mastery and creative freedom. For other addresses where luxury and imagination meet, explore our selection on parisselectbook.com.
