Objets Nomades at Salone del Mobile 2023

Louis Vuitton Greets Milan Design Week with the Latest Objets Nomades Collection

No contributor

For the occasion of Salone del Mobile (April 18—23), Louis Vuitton is introducing several new pieces and installations, which can be found on view at the Palazzo Serbelloni. As we’ve come to expect from the maison during Milan Design Week, the presentation at the palazzo introduces a suite of new additions to the “Objets Nomades” collection by various designers. Also on view is a “Cabinet of Curiosities” by Marc Newson and a pavilion by Marc Fornes that has been installed outdoors.

The brand’s “Objets Nomades” collection, now encompassing around 60 object and furniture designs, will also greet visitors with 11 new introductions created by atelier oï, Campana Brothers, Studio Louis Vuitton, Zanellato/Bortotto, Marcel Wanders, Raw Edges, and Atelier Biagetti. From the Campana Brothers comes a new take on the previous cocoon chair design, imagined with mirrored tiles and hanging from the ceiling, reflecting glittering fractals of light like a disco ball. By Raw Edges is the futuristic Binda sofa and armchair, made from a blend of rounded forms and sharp edges, and a combination of leather and velvet. And from Atelier Biagetti is a bubbly totem of handblown Italian glass making up the Flower Tower lamp, which features gold accents and a four-petaled flower shape when viewed from above. We’ve also seen pieces debuted like the Spiral chandelier, a set of monogram book ends, the Twist glasses, and more.

Marc Newson for Louis Vuitton

Nearby, and on display within its own environment, Newson has reconceptualized the iconic form of the Louis Vuitton trunk for his “Cabinet of Curiosities.” Asking visitors to enter a mirrored architectural space—situated outside of the palazzo—the smooth, simplistic interiors hold a display of the cabinets. Perfect for holding small prized possessions, books, and other knickknacks, the original form of the trunk has been situated upright on its side and filled with neat configurations of leather-bound cubes, appearing almost like a bookshelf, with options for neutral-hued interiors or colorful ones.

Finally, the nomadic pavilion by Fornes’s studio MARC FORNES / THEVERYMANY follows Louis Vuitton’s Milan Design Week tradition, which has seen the house presenting pavilions by the likes of Charlotte Perriand, M. Roma, and Shigeru Ban in past years.A curious sight, the pavilion has been painstakingly composed of 1600 individual aluminum sheets, forming an abstracted structure reminiscent of a coral formation. where the maison will host activations throughout the week. Appearing as though it might have bubbled up from the earth, the pavilion will play host to several events and activations throughout the week, including a workshop with members of atelier oï, a talk with renowned designers, and more.
