Louis Vuitton is presenting its new Objets Nomades collection and iconic trunks at Palazzo Serbelloni during Milan Design Week 2026. The historic rooms provide the setting for creations displayed along colorful corridors, moving from Art Deco to the present day.
In the Giangaleazzo room, the spirit of Pierre Legrain guides visitors. Legrain was a leading figure of the Art Deco movement, and Louis Vuitton pays homage to him with furniture, Art of Dining pieces, and textiles inspired by his bookbindings. These are presented alongside Maison archives, from early trunks to Art Deco bottles and travel accessories, displayed on a 1920s train that evokes the brand’s trunk-making origins.
The Gabrio Room showcases Objets Nomades pieces on a Tikal rug from the Pierre Legrain Homage collection. The rug uses dark blue and ochre, unifying pieces displayed in a drawing room, dining room, and library. The Napoleonic Room features graphic strips from the same homage collection on the walls, alongside the Riviera chaise longue and the Celeste dressing table. The dressing table, originally a 1921 Legrain creation for Louis Vuitton, has been relaunched in lacquered wood and Nomade leather.
The Beauharnais Room is inspired by a tablecloth from the Charlotte Perriand tribute collection, which draws from a 1920s Louis Vuitton textile. Its geometric pattern blends with contemporary creations, including plates inspired by the Monogram flower, scented candles relaunched by Marc Newson, and furniture by Patrick Jouin and Cristian Mohaded. The Malle Bibliothèque, inspired by an early 20th-century concept from Gaston-Louis Vuitton, features modular shelving and embodies the lineage of iconic luggage.
The Parini Room uses deep reds. A vermilion and gold tablecloth reveals tableware, accessories, and candles. A large rug from the Pierre Legrain Homage collection covers the floor. The Boudoir is bathed in aquatic green and showcases a Kaleidoscope Cabinet with exotic leather marquetry and a foosball table populated by mermaids, both by Estudio Campana. The new Cocoon Dichroic, also by Estudio Campana with Géraldine Gonzalez, features iridescent hand-cut leaves.
In the Grad Foyer, the Stella armchair by Raw Edges uses textile upholstery that plays with optical illusions. In the courtyard, a monumental work inspired by a Legrain bookbinding was created on-site with students from the Accademia Belli Arte di Brera, bridging Art Deco and contemporary design.
A pop-up bookstore at the palace entrance features Louis Vuitton City Guides, Travel Books, and Fashion Eyes. The Via Montenapoleone store showcases iconic trunks, including the Malle Courrier Lozine Maison de Famille, a trunk made entirely of stained glass. Created for a Pharrell Williams fashion show, it was inspired by the Art Nouveau stained glass of the Asnières family home. The Malle Paravent offers an architectural screen with an integrated dressing area. The Malle Lit, inspired by the first Malle Lit from 1865, combines trunk making with functional design. Upholstered in Monogram canvas with an aluminum and beechwood frame, it transforms into a sturdy bed with an adjustable headboard.
The exhibition is open to the public from April 21 to 26, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
