Hermès Ateliers Horizons Headphones will Cost $15,000
26.05.2025 17:15 | ~1 minute read
Hermès is releasing its first headphones – as befits a luxury brand, the price of the model will be very high ($15,000). However, future owners can be assured of exceptional quality and attention to detail – the headphones are designed by the brand’s elite division Ateliers Horizons and boast a combination of metal and hand-stitched leather from Hermès.
The design of the model is inspired by a combination of equestrian traditions and the iconic Kelly Bag, and, as a result, Hermès Ateliers Horizons Headphones will certainly become a full-fledged status symbol.
However, since Axel de Beaufort was responsible for the creative work of Hermès Ateliers Horizons Headphones, the model will be functional, just like the surfboards or disco balls created by him. Most likely, the headphones will be released in a limited edition - and, subsequently, their price, as a super exclusive, will skyrocket. Ateliers Horizons already released a music center under the auspices of the company in 2019, and the development credo, to create the "Hermès sound", resulted in Hermès Ateliers Horizons Headphones
Axel de Beaufort described the work on the model as follows: “Being able to bring some proper Hermès work on industrial design is very interesting. The edge between industrial design and craftsmanship is so thin.”
