The project demanded navigating between complex international client structures and brand regulations. The store brings together a series of craft dialogues from across India Traditional Block Printing from the west side of India

When Louis Vuitton sought to incorporate Indian influences into its interior design, a collaboration was born. Working alongside the Louis Vuitton Paris design team was a remarkable learning experience, delving into the international standards of design. Our role in this project extended to crafting special finishes, designing bespoke furniture pieces, and curating art from India. The overall design was ingeniously segmented into distinct sections, encompassing leather goods for men and women, men’s and women’s retail, and the VIC room. The design palette, deeply rooted in Louis Vuitton’s signature tones, was characterized by beige and oak veneer, showcasing the textures of India through art, furniture, and special finishes.
