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

Enter Maximo in the same space, a new Mexican concept owned by Benjy Levit (Local Foods, Lees Den, Eau Tour), Luhrman, and Dylan Murray of Local Foods.
