Louis Vuitton took a defining step into interior design at Milan Design Week 2025 with the introduction of its first Home Collections, shown for the first time at Palazzo Serbelloni. This immersive showcase united the Maison’s long-standing expertise in trunk-making with new forms of contemporary living, spanning furniture, lighting, home accessories, textiles, and one-of-a-kind games. The installation built on the legacy of Objets Nomades, expanding the brand’s creative universe into a complete domestic vision.
DESIGN
While Objets Nomades, launched in 2012, emphasized limited-edition craftsmanship and collectible pieces, the Louis Vuitton Home Collections bring that ethos into daily life. Visitors walked through a series of curated rooms where new and iconic objects coexisted, set against the ornate architecture of the 18th-century Milanese palace. The exhibit featured works by Patrick Jouin, Cristián Mohaded, Patricia Urquiola, Estúdio Campana, Jaime Hayón, Atelier Biagetti, and Studio Louis Vuitton.
Each room told a distinct story. The first floor introduced the Signature Collection with furniture by Patrick Jouin and Cristián Mohaded, alongside Objets Nomades pieces and home textiles. The Petit Foyer featured a table football sculpture by Estúdio Campana, while the Giangaleazzo room paired Mohaded’s Atlas onyx table with pieces from the Jungle collection, featuring vivid vegetation and animals.
In the Gabrio room, the focus shifted to dining. A wooden version of the Atlas table set the stage for the Arts de la table series, including Dolce Vita plates inspired by Sicilian living. At the center stood the Malle Vaisselier, which opened like a cabinet of curiosities filled with porcelain and glass. Nearby, Jaime Hayón’s Botanik collection introduced colorful ceramics, while Atelier Biagetti’s Valse lamp added warmth with swirling leather forms. Pharrell Williams also influenced a chrome pinball machine displayed just steps away, referencing his recent menswear show.
In the Depero tribute room, plates and textiles took center stage, drawn from the artist’s archives. The Beauharnais room assembled the Lagoon sofa, Pecora armchairs, Vertigo table, Diago vases, and Petalo baskets, each contributing texture and shape. The Parini room brought together textiles by Charlotte Perriand, Zanellato/Bortotto, and Fortunato Depero, offering a tactile dialogue. Beside them, the Malle Vin added dimension to the room’s focus on lifestyle. The adjacent boudoirs revealed the modular Games table and Kaleidoscope cabinet by Estúdio Campana, both hybrids of furniture and travel objects. The large foyer echoed craftsmanship through four Cocoon Couture pendant lights, also by Estúdio Campana, suspended like soft sculptures in motion.
In the courtyard, Louis Vuitton revived Charlotte Perriand’s “La Maison au Bord de l’Eau,” a seaside residence she designed in 1934. Though never built in her lifetime, Louis Vuitton constructed the pavilion for the first time in 2013. Now reinstalled for Milan Design Week, it serves as a symbolic conclusion to the exhibit. Its lightness and clarity reflect Perriand’s philosophy of functional elegance and her belief in accessible, purpose-driven design. The structure stands not as a replica but as a lived experience, an open invitation to reflect on modern design values rooted in innovation and respect for nature.
The Louis Vuitton Home Collections draw direct inspiration from the brand’s earliest innovations, objects like the 1885 Bed Trunk and the 1930 Stokowski Secretary Desk-Trunk. These hybrid creations combined travel and domestic life long before the idea of multifunctional furniture took hold. That legacy now continues through pieces like the modular sofa by Jouin, the onyx-and-travertine Atlas table by Mohaded, and the Couture-like Pecora armchair by Urquiola.
Louis Vuitton also introduced new decorative works: Jaime Hayón’s candleholders, Patricia Urquiola’s Diago vases and Petalo trays, Zanellato/Bortotto’s Ribbon textiles, and ceramics and throws inspired by the Andes, crafted by Mohaded. Each piece carries not only material richness but also cultural depth, from Japanese tableware by Nendo to hand-painted Jungle motifs by Laboratorio Paravicini.
Games take center stage as well. From a pinball machine in chrome to multifunctional game tables finished in leather and marquetry, Louis Vuitton repositions leisure as a key feature of interior design. The designs reference past pieces from the Maison’s “Salon des Jeux,” reinforcing the brand’s deep connection to social rituals within the home.
