Featuring a parrot and mosaic cat made out of leather scraps, an iridescent rainbow light display and even a room full of
quotes by McConnico, visitors are taken on a artistic journey through time to revisit milestones in Hermès history.
Amusing quotes by McConnico describing the perception of time fill the walls and
ceilings of the room called "Free Time". (Yahoo! photo/Melissa Law)
69-year-old McConnico, who has worked with Hermès several times over the years, has designed major exhibitions and even
created the interior design for the company's museum in Tokyo stores.
