What is design? It’s the ultimate question echoing throughout the bustling streets of Milan this week for Salone del Mobile and FuoriSalone. The query also resonated loudly at Louis Vuitton’s annual presentation of its Objets Nomades.
Presented in the frescoed halls of Palazzo Serbelloni, this year the line has been enriched with 11 new creative and functional items, realized by the likes of Atelier Oï, Raw Edges, Atelier Biagetti, Marcel Wanders, Zanellato/Bortotto and Studio Campana, who on Tuesday were asked to elaborate on their creative process, inspiration and overall vision.
Wanders underscored the design conceals technical challenges in terms of having “glass sit on glass” in such an effortless way and required two years to perfect the result. Hence he praised the joint effort and Louis Vuitton’s craftsmanship behind the project, additionally formulating his personal definition of design.
“And that’s wonderful, because I try to give the best of me when that happens. It’s extremely important for me to start designing without any rule, also because I love to create a bridge between design and art, taking people in a surreal, dreamy world,” said Campana. “I make the poetry and [Louis Vuitton] returns to me with technique; it’s a constant dialogue.”
For this year’s collection, the duo opted for symbolically embodying the starting point of a journey through the new Flower Tower glass lamp or, as Baldassari put it, a “totem of light.”“We liked the idea that a house doesn’t develop from walls but from a center, like sort of what fire was in the primitive era. You start to build and imagine a home, a city, from there,” she said.
“For us it is always really important to come up with something that is new. This is our quest, it’s our mission… That feeling of ‘I came up with something’: this is design for me,” added Mer.“For everyone it is so personal, but for us design is giving shape to a research and a story,” echoed Daniele Bortotto, who founded the Treviso, Italy-basedThe duo was first called upon by Louis Vuitton to interpret the nomadic concept in 2018.
