Louis Vuitton’s exclusive Objets Nomades collection, created in 2012 and composed of furniture and decorative and functional objects, arrives at the Salone del Mobile with its latest proposal.
A total of 11 new Objets Nomades belonging to different artists and studios such as Marcel Wanders, Raw Edges, Zanellato/Bortotto, Atelier Oï, Atelier Biagetti, Studio Louis Vuitton or the Campana brothers. In addition, a unique reinterpretation of the classic house boot by Marc Newson will be unveiled and an architectural structure created by Marc Fornes will be installed to host different events throughout the week.
In this way, the previously named Atelier Oï will unveil four objects: Chandelier, a leather and light sculpture 1.2 metres high and made up of 36 two-tone braided straps; Quetzal, a large-scale decorative object inspired by the flight of birds thanks to its fur plumage; Piva, a pendant lamp that pays homage to the beauty of light and colour, made up of 57 frosted glass bracelets and interspersed leather petals; and Origami Bowls, a series of ingenious, simple and practical objects made from a single piece of folded leather to create mutable three-dimensional shapes.
The Flower Tower lamp by Atelier Biagetti consists of a transparent column with 15 flower-shaped glass bubbles, inspired by LV‘s Monogram.
London designers Raw Edges come to Milan with the Binda armchair and sofa. Playful, sculptural and imposing, they follow a design based on the curved lines of tennis balls that is accentuated by glossy leather-covered exteriors and velvet seats.
Zanellato/Bortotto surprise with Basket Table, a cylindrical table formed by three interwoven leather bands on a striking metal base. It maintains a honeycomb design that ends in a reflective enamelled lava stone top.
For the occasion, the Capeline lamp by Dutch designer Marcel Wanders transforms the light into a softly diffused bath thanks to three soft frosted glass haloes.
The Campana brothers reissue their iconic Cocoon hanging armchair and transform it into Disco Ball, a new edition featuring cushions covered in silver mirrored mosaic tiles. In addition, the Bomboca sofa finds its update in a dazzling metallic-effect sculpture.
Finally, Studio Louis Vuitton will present the Flower Carafe and Twist Glass pieces, made by Venetian craftsmen and based on the Monogram flower. In addition, Bookends bookends in marble and aluminium are combined and mixed together for a unique result.
