Representing “Table Architecture.”

Louis Vuitton recently presented an updated mahjong set paying homage to both the French fashion house’s history in trunk making and the game’s origins.

Made with architectural elements in mind, the mahjong set takes into account the game’s “stackable” properties, reimagining the tiles as building blocks. This idea of players setting up their hands for “Table Architecture” is further reinforced by the use of American walnut and composite stone joined by brass. These are not only materials found in contemporary homes, but the shape of the brass also represents the keyholes and hardware found in many of LV’s classic trunks and cases. Other details include a four-petal motif on the walnut surface, a flower motif wind indicator, a vanity case with lush blue lining, and individual compartments to organize the hand-painted tiles.
