Bangkok 28^th February, Louis Vuitton has unveiled ‘LV The Place Bangkok’ at Gaysorn Amarin, a new 360 concept featuring an immersive exhibition, café, store, and restaurant by chef Gaggan Anand. The immersive space, occupying two floors of the downtown retail complex, features a dream-like aura with giant diamond shapes glowing at night. It integrates retail, dining, and culture, showcasing the brand’s imagination and creation.

Visionary Journeys
Louis Vuitton‘s Visionary Journeys exhibition is a unique scenographic experience designed by Shohei Shigematsu, Partner of OMA. The exhibition features thematic rooms that recontextualize historic and contemporary pieces, immersing visitors in the foundational pillars of savoir-faire, innovation, travel, and creation. The exhibition begins with a Trunkscape, where 96 trunk modules are assembled as a tunnel, transporting visitors into a story of craft and ingenuity. The next room, Origins, showcases the Vuitton family’s contributions to the Maison through archival documents and items detailing early inspirations and designs. The next room, dedicated to Iconic Bags, celebrates 25 years of fashion history at Louis Vuitton through five iconic bag models and their reinterpretations by the Maison’s artistic directors. The final space, Collaboration, explores the artistic relationships that have yielded some of the most popular and memorable bags in fashion history. A semi-circle of animated screens transforms a backdrop of 184 chrome-dipped bags into a cinematic showcase of each artist’s distinct pattern.
