Louis Vuitton Celebrates Art Deco Legacy with Recent Objets Nomades Collection at Milan Design Week 2026 Louis Vuitton unveiled its latest Objets Nomades collection during Milan Design Week 2026, presenting a curated exhibition at Palazzo Serbelloni that bridges the house’s Art Deco heritage with contemporary design. The presentation, spread across the palace’s historic rooms, featured new furniture and homewares alongside archival trunks and objects from the Louis Vuitton Heritage collection. The exhibition opened in the Giangaleazzo room with a tribute to Pierre Legrain, whose Art Deco-inspired operate informed a series of furniture, textiles, and Art of Dining pieces. These were displayed alongside archival trunks and illustrations staged within a 1920s train setting, referencing the brand’s origins in travel luggage. In the Gabrio room, a full living environment was built around a Tikal rug from the Pierre Legrain Homage collection, integrating pieces from the current Objets Nomades line and last year’s Fortunato Depero Homage collection. The Napoleonica room focused on graphic throws paired with the reissued Riviera chaise longue and Celeste dressing table, both originally designed in 1921. The Beauharnais room showcased a geometric textile motif from the Charlotte Perriand tribute collection, appearing on contemporary objects such as monogram-inspired plates and scented candles redesigned by Marc Newson, complemented by furniture from Patrick Jouin and Cristian Mohaded. The Parini Room used deep reds, with a Legrain-inspired tablecloth anchoring tableware and accessories, and a large geometric rug echoing the pattern. The Boudoir highlighted standout works by Estudio Campana, including the Cabinet Kaléidoscope and a Baby-foot table, alongside the Cocoon Dichroic created with Géraldine Gonzalez, noted for its iridescent surface. In the Grand Foyer, Raw Edges’ Stella Armchair played with optical effects to create an immersive functional piece. Throughout the exhibition, Louis Vuitton emphasized its travel-driven design language, connecting historical craftsmanship with modern interpretations by invited designers. The presentation underscored the maison’s ongoing commitment to blending heritage with innovation in the homewares category.
