Louis Vuitton's Milan Design Week exhibition transforms Palazzo Serbelloni with bookbinding-inspired installation
From April 21-26 during Milan Design Week 2026, Louis Vuitton presented an exhibition at Palazzo Serbelloni, featuring the Objets Nomades collection alongside historical trunks. A striking rug installation, inspired by Pierre Legrain and created by Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera, adorned the courtyard. The exhibition comprised various rooms, such as Giangaleazzo, Gabrio, Napoleonica, Beauharnais, and Parini, each showcasing distinct color themes. The Giangaleazzo room celebrated Legrain with its furniture and textiles, while Gabrio highlighted a midnight blue Tikal rug. Napoleonica transformed textiles into wall art, and Beauharnais displayed early works from Charlotte Perriand. The Boudoir featured creations by Estudio Campana, and the Via Montenapoleone store showcased innovative trunks, including Pharrell Williams' stained-glass Malle Courrier.
