The heritage of French luxury maison <a href="https://daman.co.id/tag/louis-vuitton/">Louis Vuitton</a> is steeped in craftsmanship and a devotion to preserving—and passing on—the savoir-faire honed since its inception in 1854. Embracing this tradition of sharing expertise, the maison has invited notable designers from around the world to conjure experimental yet functional furniture pieces and design objects for its Objets Nomades collection since 2012.
And instead of storing these design objects in one atelier, Louis Vuitton has taken the collections around the world and curated unique showcases for each country, thus allowing fans of the brand to appreciate the objects from up close. Last January, DA MAN once again earned the chance to experience the exquisite craftsmanship and innovative designs of the Objets Nomades collection at the Savoir Rever House in Melbourne, Australia. The Italianate mansion, built in 1882 and designed by Joseph Reed, an influential architect of the late 19th century, stands majestic and elegant. Recently renovated especially for this event, the historical building provided the perfect space to showcase Louis Vuitton’s iconic trunks and its latest array of Objets Nomades masterpieces.

The house was divided into several areas to showcase the various ways Australians like to entertain at home. First is the Formal Lounge, where beige hues from various pieces of the Objets Nomades collection dominated the space, accented with touches of saffron yellow from the Merengue pouffe by the Campana Brothers and the High Tea Trunk Monogram. The Formal Dining room came next, where the color blue took center stage, defining the room’s atmosphere.

Entering the Theatre room felt like stepping into the perfect gentleman’s nook. From the all-black Malle Vestiaire trunk created in collaboration with rugby legend Dan Carter to the Malle Party Trunk Monogram Eclipse, everything found in this birhgt space felt masculinely cozy. It’s worth noting that the Malle Party is equipped with mirrors placed on the lids, compartments to store up to 16 bottles, eight cognac glasses, eight wine glasses and eight whisky glasses, along with a large removable drawer capable of holding up to 15 bottles. Additionally, it includes its own disco ball with a metallic stick.

The Billiard and Living Rooms were curated with a variety of recreational objects, ranging from the Belt Lounge Chair Outdoor by Atelier Oï to the Cocoon hanging chair by the Campana Brothers, along with two of the Cabinet of Curiosities trunks by Australian industrial designer Marc Newson. These happen to be the first Louis Vuitton trunks engineered to open at a 180 degrees.
Stepping on to the Terrace to round up the house tour, we were greeted by the PingPong Table. The sides of the full-sized table tennis table are covered in Epi leather, while the table top comes in striking Monogram Blue. Intriguingly, the net sports a lace-effect Monogram pattern that really stands out.

While the tour was over, the excitement continued as the grounds of the Savoir Rever House featured a tennis court to celebrate the 2024 Australian Open tournament. Louis Vuitton has created two Official Trophy Trunks: One to house the Daphne Akhurst Memorial Cup for women and another for the Norman Brookes Challenge Cup for men.
All in all, Louis Vuitton’s presence in Melbourne, Australia, has been nothing short of extraordinary. From the exceptional Objets Nomades collection to the Trophy Trunks for the Australian Open, Louis Vuitton’s legacy continues to inspire around the world.
