Louis Vuitton has unveiled 11 new Objets Nomades by renowned international designers at Milan Design Week. The collection, which has grown to over 60 pieces since its creation in 2012, will be exhibited in a specially designed space at the historic Palazzo Serbelloni. The new objects include innovative and functional furniture and objects by Atelier Oï, Raw Edges, Atelier Biagetti, Marcel Wanders, Zanellato/Bortotto, Studio Louis Vuitton, and Campana, ranging from leather chandeliers to transparent lamps to honeycomb-patterned tables.
Another highlight of Milan Design Week is the Cabinet of Curiosities by Marc Newson, a collaboration between Louis Vuitton and the Australian industrial designer. Produced in a limited edition of 40, the Cabinet of Curiosities is a testament to both the Maison’s heritage and savoir-faire and Newson’s love of intelligent style and functionality. The hard-sided travel trunk, covered in Monogram, features 19 metal, leather-covered cubes with doors and secret compartments for valuables. When opened, the trunk and cubes provide a customizable showcase for books, art, and travel souvenirs, making it a unique and elegant presentation case.
In addition to the Objets Nomades and Cabinet of Curiosities, Louis Vuitton will also showcase a nomadic pavilion by French architect Marc Fornes at Palazzo Serbelloni. The pavilion, resembling a living entity organically bubbling up from the courtyard, is made of over 1600 uniquely shaped and patterned anodized aluminium sheets. This ultra-thin structure is the latest example of nomadic architecture presented by Louis Vuitton in Milan, following works by other renowned architects in previous years. The pavilion will host a series of events during Milan Design Week, including workshops, book launches, and public discussions with Objets Nomades designers.
