Louis Vuitton Omotesando Bldg.

area: 表参道/OMOTESANDO

活动信息

The Louis Vuitton Omotesando opened in 2002 as one of the first buildings designed by an internationally renowned architect in this area. The plan was built upon the image of the brand origin, and consists of volumes with the reference to stacked trunks, along with the facade blending into the zelkova trees along the street. The floors have been designed to portray a travel-like experience of shopping, by locating travel luggage, men and women, watches and jewelry on each of its skip floors. In addition, Espace Louis Vuitton Tokyo was added in 2011 on the 7th floor as a place to exhibit contemporary art collected by the Fondation Louis Vuitton.
