Moynat Trunks Disguise a Towering Sound System
Designed by Paris-based studio Hall Haus to mimic stacked Moynat trunks, the piece is 1/3 reinterpretations unveiled in Milan.
Summary
- To celebrate its new Milan flagship, Moynat collaborated with designers Hall Haus, Marianna Ladreyt, and Michael Samuels on artistic trunk reinterpretations.
- Featured installations include a technological sound system, patchworked designs, and repurposed vintage cases, on display through April 26.
To mark the opening of Moynat‘s first Milan flagship, located at Via Monte Napoleone 3, the French house enlisted three designers to reinterpret its products. Occupying a 16th-century palazzo, the space has been adorned with special installations from studio Hall Haus, Marianna Ladreyt, and Michael Samuels just in time for Milan Design Week.
From Hall Haus, the Trunk Haus System stands out with its technological integrations. The stacked sound system is disguised as cargo, complete with Moynat’s classic Olympic monogram and an orange shipping palette forming a pedestal. Inspired by the communal energy of block parties, the Trunk Haus System brings together both identities: Hall Haus’s signature mesh monogram is joined with Moynat’s branding in a colorful expression.
Marianna Ladreyt and Michael Samuels delivered their own reinterpretations of Moynat’s signature product. Marianna Ladreyt’s Parkour is an assemblage of amorphous trunks covered with patchworked beach inflatables, while Michael Samuels repurposed 1960s cases and trunks, and a range of storage trunks from the London Museum, closed in 2022.
The trunks will be on view until April 26 at Via Monte Napoleone, 3, Milano.
