Louis Vuitton has represented the epitome of luxury travelling since 1854, and its recently updated collection “Objets Nomades” did not disappoint. The event occurred this past Wednesday, December 2nd, 2015; where the legendary brand commemorated the exhibition in their Miami Design District store, revealing a world exclusive addition to the Objets Nomades collection.
This collection consists of unique travel essentials, which have been produced in alliance with 10 reputable international designers. Objets Nomades first debuted in 2012, during Design Miami; presenting a modern twist to Louis Vuitton’s traditional aesthetic, as well as paying tribute to classic pieces such as the Bed Trunk and Wardrobe Trunk. This year, during Art Basel, the newest piece to the collection was premiered. An innovative Lounge Chair constructed by Dutch designer, Marcel Wanders, Louis Vuitton’s addition to the now 17 Objets Nomades, is also available in turquoise; influenced by Miami’s renowned “Ocean Drive” and architectural aesthetic.
The elegant brand rejuvenated their classic style by taking inspiration from their long-established travel pieces and finding promising designers that created contemporary renditions. Which has resulted in luxurious foldable pieces like the stools and love bench. The well-known innovative creatives that have participated in the collaboration are: Patricia Urquiola, Maarten Baas, the Campana Brothers, Barber and Osgerby, Damien Langlois-Meurinne, Atelier Oï, Nendo, Gwenaël Nicolas, Raw Edges, and Marcel Wanders.
