The Volez, Voguez, Voyagez exhibition at the Grand Palais in Paris takes us through a retrospective of the Louis Vuitton company; showcasing some unique but also signature pieces from the past. The extensive, nine-room retrospective covers 160 years and hundreds of signature pieces by a handful of Vuitton descendants and designers. It seems every month or so there is a new LV celebration – but hey, this does have some cool pieces.
DJ Box
This record box designed by Helmut Lang in 1996 to celebrate the centennial of the monogrammed canvas. 
The Trunk Bed
This nearly 90-pound piece unfolds to become a bed, complete with a cotton mattress and pillow. 
Library Trunk
Designed in 1936 by Louis Vuitton’s grandson, Gaston-Louis, a publisher and journalist who eventually took over the business from his father, Georges, this 35-pound portable desk-piece features space for a typewriter, books and other office items that all stayed in place once folded.
The Milano Fitted Suitcase
Lined in Moroccan leather and red silk, this Art Deco toiletry kit, first made for the 1925 Exposition of Modern Industrial and Decorative Arts, features more than 50 items from a nail clipper and a shoehorn, to hair brushes made of ivory that resemble a silhouette of the American skyscrapers when stored in one of the three removable trays.
The exhibition runs through February 21st in Paris.
