Objets of Our Affection

2.21 LV

Louis Vuitton’s unique traveling furniture collection, Objets Nomades, has landed at its Galleria boutique. The line by the famed fashion house boasts collectible and limited-edition pieces crafted from beautiful materials with a nod to composition and balance.


Items range from the practical — a leather “belt” chair by Atelier Oi is sleek — to the whimsical, as in a jewel-toned hammock or the bulbous Bomboca sofa that almost looks like a cartoon. But the craftsmanship is evident throughout the entire collection. Designer Patricia Urquiola’s Palaver chair is a stunning two-piece seat made from wood and a net-like leather seat.

The Objet Nomades furniture collection is on view, with items available for purchase and special-order, through March 7. In the Galleria, 713.960.0707

WHAT TO DO when a beautiful botanical garden is overgrown with green briars, poison ivy, ragweed, and other undesirable plant species that prevent the growth of new trees? Call in the goats! Specifically, about 120 super cute goats from Rent-a-Ruminant Texas, who return to the Houston Arboretum & Nature Center on Tuesday, June 4, to partake in a week-long banquet of invasive vegetation, effectively clearing three acres south of the meadow between the South Meadow Trail and the Muscadine Trail along the Outer Loop.
