This year, the label welcomes Frank Chou as the collection’s latest designer. An outdoor sofa and chair designed by Chou and craft ed by Louis Vuitton’s expert artisans will debut at the chic Miami location. Furthering the focus on the Objets Nomades, the entire two-story facade of the women’s store will be temporarily wrapped in bursts of exuberant colors that pay homage to the Aguacate, another new addition to the Objets Nomades collection by iconic collaborators the Campana Brothers.

In seamless balance with the exterior, architect and designer Patricia Urquiola has curated the third floor of the store’s interior to unify the unique artistic perspectives of all the Objets Nomades collaborators through an exhibitionlike experience. Expect a cosmic table whose rich color resembles a slice of ice cut from a lake and a candylike ottoman composed of supple leather by the Campana Brothers.

Upon entrance into the store, a spiraling staircase bordered with blue leather handrails references Miami’s sparkling waterfronts. A towering mannequin sculpture is encircled within the staircase, wearing a look from the SS22 collection.
Two additional monumental sculptures can be found at an activation near the Museum Garage, wearing the latest men’s looks atop a giant chessboard that simultaneously references the maison’s iconic Damier motif.
