Louis Vuitton Reissues First-Ever Piece in Art Deco-Inspired Furniture Collection

Summary

• Louis Vuitton’s “Objets Nomades” at Milan Design Week reissues Pierre Legrain’s 1920s Art Deco furniture, including the iconic “Celeste” dressing table.

• Hosted at Palazzo Serbelloni, the exhibition bridges heritage and future, showcasing rare archival trunks alongside contemporary designs by Raw Edges and Estudio Campana.

For Milan Design Week 2026, Louis Vuitton unleashed a 1920s time capsule at Palazzo Serbelloni — featuring a reissue of its first-ever piece.

Inspired by the brand’s Art Deco era, the latest Objets Nomades collection is broken down into immersive living spaces. The various rooms, from the Giangaleazzo room to the Grand Foyer, stand as a tribute to Pierre Legrain (1888–1929), who designed the first Louis Vuitton furniture line.

Legrain’s debut piece, the Celeste dressing table, is reissued in its original Omega shape with lacquered wood and Nomade leather. Elsewhere, the Riviera Chilienne chair is resurrected from the Legrain archives, boasting wood, leather, and mother-of-pearl marquetry. In another room, occupying a period-style train car, rare artefacts, including Louis Vuitton’s earliest trunks and travel accessories, engage in dialogue with the new Objets Nomades collection.

The Boudoir showcases the intricate Cabinet Kaléidoscope, with its leather marquetry and mermaid feet, as well as the shimmering Cocoon Dichroic chair, both by Estudio Campana with contributions from Géraldine Gonzalez. The two pieces present a more future-facing vision of Louis Vuitton’s design identity, setting the stage for the Stella Armchair by Raw Edges studio. Located in the Grand Foyer, the Stella departs from the nostalgic mood with a more directional, amorphous concept.

The Louis Vuitton exhibition at Palazzo Serbelloni is open to the public from 21 to 26 April 2026, from 10 am to 8 pm.
