The maison reimagines its beginnings through an immersive Art Deco furniture presentation in Milan.
A Return to Early Craft Identity
Louis Vuitton presented a major Objets Nomades installation during Milan Design Week 2026 at Palazzo Serbelloni. The showcase revisits the brand’s early design language inspired by Pierre Legrain and the Art Deco period, placing historic references alongside contemporary furniture design within immersive room settings.
Reissued Forms From the Archive
At the center of the exhibition is a modern reissue of the Celeste dressing table, originally designed as Louis Vuitton’s first ever furniture piece. It returns with lacquered wood and Nomade leather detailing, preserving its distinctive silhouette. Other archival designs such as the Riviera Chilienne chair also reappear, combining wood, leather, and decorative inlays that highlight craftsmanship from the early twentieth century.
Heritage Meets Contemporary Design Vision
The presentation extends beyond archival revival by placing historic trunks and travel objects alongside new works from designers such as Raw Edges and Estudio Campana. This contrast builds a dialogue between past and present, with pieces like sculptural seating and experimental forms introducing a forward looking interpretation of the maison’s design identity.
