Louis Vuitton, known for its innovative approach to collaboration, has a longstanding history of partnering with Canadian-American architect Frank Gehry. The renowned Maison is celebrating this enduring partnership with a special exhibit at Art Basel Miami. The exhibit will feature a collection of co-created works displayed in a booth designed to reflect Gehry’s distinctive aesthetic. The works will be showcased in four themes: Architecture and Form, Material Exploration, Animals, and Gehry’s iconic Twisted Box bag, originally created for the Maison’s Celebrating Monogram collection in 2014.
This unprecedented experience will not only provide insight into Gehry’s design process, featuring original artworks, sketches, and architectural models, but also unveil the world premiere of Louis Vuitton x Frank Gehry. The limited-edition handbag collection, a collaborative effort between the two, revolves around three key themes. The capsule collection will redefine the Maison’s Capucines bag, which has long served as a canvas for creative exploration. Additionally, new versions of Gehry’s beloved Twisted Box Trunk for the Maison will be introduced, captivating collectors with their innovative designs.
Each piece in the collection seamlessly blends Louis Vuitton’s DNA with Frank Gehry’s design principles. Notable highlights include a Capucines Mini Blossom with glass-like resin petals inspired by Louis Vuitton’s perfume bottles, and a Capucines MM with a Floating Fish, drawing inspiration from the logo created for the Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris, among others. Don’t miss the opportunity to discover this extraordinary collection and presentation. Visit the booth in person at Art Basel Miami Beach from today, December 8th through December 10th, 2023.
