Milan Design Week 2026 and Louis Vuitton

Louis Vuitton unveils new Objets Nomades collections and iconic trunks in an exhibition that celebrates Art Deco and contemporary design

​Milan, April 20, 2026 – As part of Milan Design Week 2026, Louis Vuitton is presenting its new Objets Nomades collection at Palazzo Serbelloni, along with the Maison's iconic trunks. The historic premises of the Milan palazzo form the ideal backdrop for the staging of the creations, which are arranged in powerful, immersive color worlds and open up a unique journey through the history of Louis Vuitton – from Art Deco to the present day.
Already in the Giangaleazzo Hall, visitors are transported to another time, guided by the spirit of the interior designer, bookbinder and illustrator Pierre Legrain (1888–1929). Louis Vuitton pays tribute to this defining figure of the Art Deco movement with an exceptional collection of furniture, Art de la Table and textiles inspired by his iconic book covers. These creations enter into a dialogue with the Maison's archives, from the earliest suitcases to Art Deco bottles, travel accessories and signed illustrations. The rare objects from the Louis Vuitton Heritage Collection are presented in a staging reminiscent of a 1920s train, reflecting the Maison's origins and savoir-faire in suitcase making.

To deepen this immersive experience, the Gabrio Room displays a selection of works from the Louis Vuitton Objets Nomades collections in different sizes and formats, arranged around a large-format Tikal rug from the Pierre Legrain Hommage collection, inspired by one of his book cover designs. The striking colour palette of midnight blue and brown combines a staging of salon, dining room and library into a closed world, characterised by a lively interplay of textures, patterns and hues. Also on display are works from previous Objets Nomades collections, including the Fortunato Depero Hommage collection presented last year.

In the Napoleonica Room, large-format plaids with graphic compositions from the Pierre Legrain Hommage collection adorn the walls like monumental paintings, complementing iconic pieces of furniture. These include the Riviera chaise longue and the Celeste dressing table with its omega-shaped silhouette, designed by Pierre Legrain for Louis Vuitton in 1921 and now reinterpreted in lacquered wood and nomad leather.

The journey continues in the Beauharnais Room, whose design is inspired by the blue and beige motif of a tablecloth from the Charlotte Perriand Tribute collection. Launched in 2025, the design draws on archive footage from one of her earliest textile designs from the 1920s. The geometric pattern, reminiscent of a mountain landscape, blends harmoniously with contemporary creations – from plates inspired by the Louis Vuitton Monogram flower, to scented candles launched in 2018 and now reissued in a sensual minimalist design by Marc Newson, to furniture pieces by Patrick Jouin and Cristian Mohaded.

The Parini Hall immerses visitors in a spectrum of deep red nuances. Starting with a red and gold tablecloth inspired by a book cover design by Pierre Legrain, a collection of tableware, accessories and candles unfolds that picks up on the graphic clarity and minimalist design language of the era. A large-format rug from the Pierre Legrain Hommage collection structures the room with striking geometry.

The boudoir presents two exceptional pieces that stand out for their outstanding savoir-faire and noble materials, immersing the room in an aquatic green: the Kaléidoscope cabinet with exotic leather inlays and an artfully designed baby-foot, populated by mermaids, designed by Estudio Campana. They are complemented by the new Cocoon Dichroic, created in collaboration between Estudio Campana and Géraldine Gonzalez – a futuristic shell made of hand-cut, iridescent leaves that shimmer in changing shades of colour.
In the Grand Foyer, the new Stella Armchair by the British studio Raw Edges unfolds its multi-layered effect and takes you on a cosmic journey. The extraordinary design redefines comfort by a textile cover playing with optical illusions, creating an almost hypnotic experience.
In the courtyard of Palazzo Serbelloni, the pavement is enriched by a monumental work inspired by a book cover by Pierre Legrain. Realized on site in collaboration with the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera, a nomadic carpet is created with the participation of students, which builds a bridge between Art Deco and contemporary design as a colorful play of patterns.

The Louis Vuitton store in Via Montenapoleone presents iconic trunks
At the same time, Louis Vuitton is showing the Malle Courrier Lozine Maison de Famille – a suitcase made entirely of glass – in its store in Via Montenapoleone. This exceptional piece was designed for a recent fashion show by Pharrell Williams, Men's Creative Director of the Maison, and – like the Art de la Table Asnières collection – is directly inspired by the floral Art Nouveau motifs of the recently restored stained glass windows at the family estate in Asnières-sur-Seine, near Paris, where the historic suitcase workshop is located. The object illustrates the combination of tradition and innovation and testifies to the highest precision – from the suitcase structure to the glass work, which is conceived as an architectural and light-flooded composition.

The Malle Paravent, which is also on display, reinterprets nomadic life. Designed as an architectural room divider with an integrated dressing area, it combines functionality with the art of creating an intimate atmosphere. Upon opening, a carefully structured space for ready-to-wear and accessories is revealed, where every detail reflects the Maison's precise savoir-faire, from material processing to leather-covered finishes and fine stitching. Finally, the Malle Lit invites you to rethink the art of living in the spirit of Louis Vuitton. As an icon of travel elegance, it combines the expertise of suitcase production with functional design.

Inspired by the first Malle Lit, designed by Louis Vuitton in 1865, it has been reinterpreted to combine tradition and modernity. It has been part of the Maison's history of innovation since the 19th century, marked by pioneering travel solutions and the patent filed by Georges Vuitton in 1885. Designed with travelers and explorers in mind, it embodies an iconic response to new forms of travel.

Upholstered in the iconic Louis Vuitton Monogram canvas, it features aluminum and beech wood elements inside and can be effortlessly transformed into a sturdy bed. The multi-part, water-repellent mattress with memory foam topper and an adjustable headboard ensure maximum comfort and functionality.

The Louis Vuitton exhibition at Palazzo Serbelloni will be open to the public daily from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. from April 21 to 26, 2026.
