As part of Milan Design Week 2026, Louis Vuitton takes over Palazzo Serbelloni with a concise presentation that pairs new Objets Nomades pieces with its signature trunks. Spread across the palace’s historic rooms, the exhibition moves through bold colour environments, tracing a line from Art Deco to today while staying rooted in the House’s travel-driven design language.
The Giangaleazzo room opens with a tribute to Pierre Legrain, whose work informs a series of furniture, textiles and Art of Dining pieces inspired by his bindings. These sit alongside archival trunks, objects and illustrations from the Louis Vuitton Heritage collection, staged within a 1920s train setting that nods to the brand’s origins.
From there, the Gabrio room expands into a full living environment built around a Tikal rug from the Pierre Legrain Homage collection, tying together pieces from across Objets Nomades, including last year’s Fortunato Depero Homage collection. The Napoleonica room refines the focus, pairing graphic throws with the reissued Riviera chaise longue and Celeste dressing table, first designed in 1921.
In the Beauharnais room, a geometric textile motif from the Charlotte Perriand tribute collection carries through a mix of contemporary objects, from monogram-inspired plates to scented candles redesigned by Marc Newson, alongside furniture by Patrick Jouin and Cristian Mohaded. The Parini Room shifts into deep reds, where a Legrain-inspired tablecloth anchors a display of tableware and accessories, and a large geometric rug echoes it.
The Boudoir introduces standout pieces by Estudio Campana, including the Cabinet Kaléidoscope and a detailed Baby-foot table, alongside the Cocoon Dichroic created with Géraldine Gonzalez, defined by its iridescent surface. In the Grand Foyer, Raw Edges’ Stella Armchair plays with optical effects, turning a functional piece into something more immersive.
Outside, the courtyard features a large-scale installation inspired by a Legrain binding, created with students from the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera, extending the exhibition into a collaborative open-air setting. A pop-up bookstore at the entrance presents Louis Vuitton Editions.
At the same time, the Via Montenapoleone store focuses on trunk-making, led by the stained-glass Malle Courrier Lozine Maison de Famille, created for a recent Pharrell Williams show. It’s joined by the Malle Paravent, a trunk reworked as a screen with an integrated dressing space, and the Malle Lit, a modern take on an 1865 design that converts into a bed.
Open April 21 to 26, the exhibition keeps the balance tight, connecting archive and contemporary without overcomplicating the story.
