Vuitton travels back in time
Louis Vuitton and Siam Paragon are teaming up to present Time Capsule Bangkok, an exhibition featuring the history of the luxury French brand that revisits its landmark innovations in technology and design.
The exhibition will run from September 7-25 at the downtown shopping mall.
Travelling from the House’s beginnings in 1854 to the present day, the story is told using rare and celebrated objects selected from the brand’s archive.
As advances in transport have accelerated our movement around the world, so Louis Vuitton has continued to address new challenges faced by travellers with imaginative and ingenious creations.
The exhibition follows a visual timeline of landmark moments in the story, focusing on five key aspects.
>> The codes of the House, distinctive design features that can be traced back to Louis Vuitton’s very first trunks
>> Journeys around the world, revealing how Louis Vuitton met the demands of new forms of transport
>> Elegance and beauty in motion, showing how Louis Vuitton has enabled its clients to travel in style
>> The icons of the House: Louis Vuitton’s most memorable and emblematic creations
>> A celebration of Louis Vuitton’s past and present links with Thailand including the special order “Boite Flacon” in Yellow Epi produced in 2006 to celebrate the 60th Anniversary of His Majesty the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej’s accession to the Throne and the special order Watch Trunks designed by HRH Princess Sirivannavari Nariratana in collaboration with Louis Vuitton to raise funds for the Chaipattana Foundation in 2008.
Visitors will enjoy unprecedented access to some of the most valuable pieces from Louis Vuitton archives.
Admission is free.
