""This piece really links our brand's history to design work," says Nathalie Fremon, senior vice president of architecture and home collections at Louis Vuitton, speaking of the original red-and-black dressing table. "Then, it didn't look like anything you'd ever seen. But today it fits perfectly into the interiors of our time.""
""People would ask him to create a beautiful binding for their favorite book," Fremon says of Legrain's unique practice. "The graphics, the materials, and the originality of colors were so amazing that they inspired our whole textile collection.""
""We worked the carpet like marquetry," notes Fremon, highlighting the intricate craftsmanship involved in replicating Legrain's collage-like motifs in silk, wool, and bamboo."
Louis Vuitton unveiled new designs at Salone del Mobile, including the Celeste Coiffeuse dressing table and the Riviera Chilienne oak folding chair. These pieces feature updates like leather wrapping and mother-of-pearl inlays. The designs draw inspiration from the visual language of Legrain, who created bespoke book bindings. His unique graphics and materials influenced Louis Vuitton's textile collection, leading to hand-tufted carpets that replicate his motifs. The brand's craftsmanship is highlighted through various products, including folding screens that showcase their skill with wood.
