At Design Miami.Paris, Louis Vuitton presented an exceptional exhibition at the LV Dream space, highlighting its historic collaboration with Estúdio Campana for the "Louis Vuitton Objets Nomades" collection. This exhibition celebrated 40 years of design by the Brazilian brothers Humberto and Fernando Campana, who have been collaborators with the house since 2012 and are the creators of iconic pieces such as the Cocoon armchair and the Maracatu suspended cabinet.
The first part of the exhibition paid tribute to the pieces designed by Estúdio Campana for "Objets Nomades." Humberto Campana shared his fascination with Louis Vuitton trunks, particularly their innovative design and timeless aesthetic. Inspired by Brazilian craftsmanship, works such as the Bomboca armchair, the Bulbo chair, and the Maracatu cabinet reflected a dialogue between Brazilian culture and the art of travel, so dear to Louis Vuitton. The screening of the film We the Others offered visitors an immersive experience in the Campana family's world, tracing their journey since the founding of their studio in 1984.
Among the new creations, the Cocoon Couture, revisited for the occasion in six unique pieces, particularly captured attention. Each of these works reflected the richness of Brazilian mythology, from the Matinta model, adorned with dark feathers evoking a nocturnal bird, to the Cocoon Curupira, protector of the forests, embellished with sequins and precious stones. Finally, the Kaleidoscope Cabinet, with its 500 pieces of leather marquetry, was an ode to travel and the heritage of Louis Vuitton.
The exhibition also highlighted the Instituto Campana, founded in 2009 by the Campana brothers to preserve their artistic heritage. Based in São Paulo, the institute is committed to conserving Brazilian culture and artisanal techniques, while promoting social inclusion through design. It supports educational and cultural initiatives aimed at improving society and preserves the Campana brothers' works to inspire future generations.
The visit concluded with a space designed as a Louis Vuitton apartment, showcasing collections of tableware, furniture, and exclusive objects, reflecting the house's design heritage. This exhibition offered visitors an immersive exploration of the world of Louis Vuitton luxury and lifestyle.
