Hommage Éditions

The concept

We all want to be seen. Really seen — by the people we’ve spent a lifetime loving.

Hommage Éditions is the gift that does exactly that. A magazine devoted entirely to one person, written by the people who walk alongside them. Their life. Their relationships. The mark they leave on everyone in the room.

Designed with the precision of a publication you’d buy. Printed to outlive the moment. Made to be opened, again and again, for the rest of a life.

The impact of an Hommage.

After receiving his Hommage, Stefan recorded a private message for the people who had made it possible. These are his words.

“The thing that really got me: There’s this person you think you are. Then there’s how others see you. I know from first hand experience how much those two pictures can differ. And I’ve always wondered: do people actually see the real me? So when I read your words, I was just blown away. Because the overlap was so much bigger than I ever would’ve dared to hope. You showed me that I succeeded so much more than I failed at the person who I’ve been trying to be. That makes me deeply grateful.”
STEFAN BEITEN — RECIPIENT
“I’ve never received anything that made me feel this seen. It’s not really a magazine about you — it’s your life and impact, told back to you by the people who walk alongside you. I genuinely can’t imagine a more personal gift.”
MARCUS BÖRNER — THE FIRST HOMMAGE

Its origin as a personal gift.

Marcus received the very first Hommage for his 40th birthday. This is what he had to say.

Selected Hommages

Every issue, one of a kind.
One of a person.

Each Hommage is built around the recipient — their humour, their world, the way they hold a room. From the cover onwards, the design follows the individual. Always.

Here’s a selection of Hommages, showing how differently each story can take shape.

Occasions

For the moments worth more than an ordinary gift.

An Hommage is made for the milestones that make us pause and long for a way to honour someone close to us, for who they are and all they mean to us.

Round birthdays

… 40, 50, 60, 70 … The turn of a new decade carries a meaning of its own, and it asks the question: who have I become? An Hommage is the answer, written by everyone who has been paying attention all along.

Weddings & Anniversaries

A wedding deserves more than a guestbook. Twenty-five, forty, fifty years of “we made it” deserve more than a dinner. An Hommage tells the story of two people through everyone who has watched it unfold.

Career Milestones & Retirements

A whole career, summed up in a dinner, a toast and an engraved pen. We can do better. An Hommage gathers the colleagues, the mentees and the people whose careers were quietly shaped along the way, and puts it all on the record at last.

Farewells & Legacies

Some Hommages are written while there is still time to read them. Others come after a passing. We believe a life is to be celebrated, and that a person lives on in the stories told about them. We gather those stories into a mosaic of a life, with extra care, extra warmth, and a humour that is unmistakably theirs.

Just because & other reasons

Not every Hommage needs a special occasion. Sometimes the person is reason enough. A parent who should hear it sooner rather than later. A friend who has had a hard year. A mentor you never properly thanked. If someone comes to mind, we’d love to hear about them.

ABOUT MARIA

The heart behind the pages.

Hommage Éditions didn’t start as a business. It started as the word itself — a hommage to someone I loved deeply, who deserved nothing less than to see himself the way the rest of us saw him.

Then the first commission came. Then the second. And by the time the third was in someone’s hands, I understood something profound:

Most people walk through their entire lives never really knowing the extent of their own impact. They never fully see themselves the way the people who love them do. And the gifts that could show them that — those almost don’t exist.

That felt worth changing.

Hommage Éditions is built on one belief: that to truly see someone — and to show them what you see — is the most meaningful gift one human being can give another.

I’d love to help you do that for someone in your life.

Maria

Every Hommage begins with a conversation.

If there is someone in your life who means more than any ordinary gift could say — write to us. Tell us who they are, what they mean to you, and what made you think of gifting them a Hommage. We’ll take it from there.
