LOUIS VUITTON OBJETS NOMADES
Louis Vuitton has been synonymous with the Art of Travel since it was founded
in 1854. It is a longstanding spirit of sophistication and unlimited possibilities
that is now to be found at the heart of the Objets Nomades. Stepping outside
the rhythm of seasons, the collection has been growing – and will continue
to grow – organically, mirroring the House’s journey and the new or established
designers it meets along the way. The Objets Nomades are about turning chance
encounters and moments of serendipity into pieces of original design.
The line currently counts 16 travel-inspired objects, a mixture of foldable furniture
and travel accessories, all in noble materials and made as unique pieces,
limited editions or experimental prototypes. From a hammock to a foldable stool
in precious “Nomade” leather, a travel desk to a Maracatu, Objets Nomades
pay homage to the House’s special orders of the past – such as the iconic
Bed-Trunk or Stokowski Trunk – and add a defiantly contemporary spirit. Sharing
a sense of instinctiveness, desire and pleasure the Objets Nomades continue
Louis Vuitton’s tradition of offering its customers new visions of how to travel.
The entire collection will receive its world premiere at the Louis Vuitton Miami
Design District temporary store on December 4, 2012, and be on show during
the duration of Design Miami/ from December 5-9.
