Louis Vuitton joined forces with a number of renowned international designers to create a “collapsible” travel collection of objects as part of Objets Nomades – ‘The Journey’ -that pay homage to the tradition of Special Orders of the House.
Objets Nomades has become a collaboration between renowned designers like Oki Sato of Nendo Studio, Maarten Baas, Thierry Gaugain, Patricia Urquiola, Campana Brothers, Atelier Oi among others.
.
The European premiere of the traveller collection took place at Design Miami Fair in December 2012. The resulting project can now be seen in Milan.
.
A mixture of pieces of furniture and travel accessories, all in noble materials (Nomade leather, leather Haute Maroquinerie, metal and precious woods used for the workshops from Louis Vuitton) and mass-produced, limited editions or experimental prototypes that products become in series in the future.
The collection perfectly attenuates to the idea of nomadic traveling.
A desk that is meant for avant-garde writers who probably wish to travel often, a pair of glasses that help you sleep when you are travelling, a Voyage Cabinet designed by the Campana brothers and a hammock by Atelier Oi.
The series currently comprises 16 items (but the collection is expected to grow).
Maracatu by Louis Vuitton
Maracatu, is a cabinet de voyage created by the Campana brothers for Louis Vuitton.
A portable cabinet made from recycled leather scraps, three compartments and a hook that allows you to hang it anywhere.
.
The hammock by Oï Atelier, a worthy descendant of the traditions of the journey, like the sailors on board their ships and inspired by the savoir-faire of knitwear Louis Vuitton.
A mix of strips of leather iconic Maison, reinforced by rivets gold. For when the relaxation becomes refined.
Some pieces you can see them in the shop in Via Montenapoleone 2 in Milan during the Salone del Mobile.
