Louis Vuitton pays tribute to Frank Gehry at Art Basel Hong Kong

As part of Art Basel Hong Kong 2026, Louis Vuitton is celebrating its more than two decades of collaboration with Frank Gehry with a retrospective booth. From visionary architecture to limited-edition handbags, perfume bottles and timepieces, his creations reflect an unmistakable marriage of innovation and savoir-faire.

As a show partner of Art Basel Hong Kong, the Maison presents a chronologically curated production in eight chapters that highlights Gehry's most influential works as well as his contributions to the Louis Vuitton universe. Maquettes and works on display provide insights into his creative process and impressively highlight the enduring radiance of his work.

The partnership between LVMH and the award-winning architect began back in 2001 with the conception of the Fondation Louis Vuitton, which opened in 2014 as an iconic glass building that reinterprets transparency, light and volume. In the same year, Gehry designed the "Twisted Box" bag for Louis Vuitton's 160th anniversary. This was followed by the Louis Vuitton Maison Seoul (2019), whose curved glass façade is inspired by both the Fondation and traditional Korean architecture. Other projects include the reinterpretation of the Louis Vuitton Trunk on the occasion of the 200th anniversary, as well as the Murano glass "Blossom" stoppers for Les Extraits Parfums. In addition, Gehry's "Monogram Studies" testify to his exploration of the Maison's iconic canvas and led to the development of new symbolic elements within the collaboration.

A key highlight is the Louis Vuitton x Frank Gehry Handbag Collection, which debuted at Art Basel Miami Beach in 2023. The models – including the iconic Capucines, Twisted Boxes and the Bear With Us Clutch – translate central themes of his oeuvre into design: architecture and form, materiality and animal motifs. Innovative details and exceptional materials take the Maison's craftsmanship to new frontiers.

The presentation is complemented by the Tambour watch (2024), which combines the watchmaking art of La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton with sculptural elements and transfers Gehry's architectural signature into the dimension of time.

Louis Vuitton will be at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (Management) Limited Centre from 27 to 29 March 2026.
