Designed by Shohei Shigematsu of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/tag\/oma-rem-koolhaas\/\"><strong>OMA<\/strong><\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/tag\/exhibitions\/\"><strong>exhibition<\/strong><\/a> occupies 2,200 square meters of the museum and is organized into eleven thematic galleries. These are grouped into four interconnected zones \u2014 history, codes, process behind the craft, and cultural dialogue \u2014 that together express the enduring identity of the House.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/tag\/exhibition-design\/\"><strong>exhibition design<\/strong><\/a> celebrates spatial variety, with each room conceived as a unique set within a continuous narrative. Shigematsu explains that the scenography aims to translate Louis Vuitton\u2019s legacy into an architectural journey, one that goes beyond objects to explore ideas. Osaka\u2019s long-standing role as a center of trade and craftsmanship in Japan underscores the choice of venue, bringing a contextual layer to the Maison\u2019s exploration of heritage and innovation.<\/p>\n<p>the exhibition spans 2,200 square meters at the Nakanoshima Museum of Art | images courtesy Louis Vuitton<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wow wow-yellow\">Monumental Interventions in the Museum Atrium<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Visitors to Louis Vuitton: Visionary Journeys first encounter eight monumental lanterns, which the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oma.com\/partners\/shohei-shigematsu\"><strong>team<\/strong><\/a> at OMA suspends from the Osaka museum\u2019s five-story atrium. Each 12.5-meter-tall column stacks trunk-like forms wrapped in Monogram washi paper, arranged in six unique configurations. The lanterns emphasize the verticality of the atrium while casting a soft, diffuse glow, creating a welcoming transition into the exhibition.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Beyond the atrium, the entrance gallery is anchored by a hemispherical installation composed of 138 authentic Louis Vuitton trunks. Mirrored by the glass floor below, the self-supporting structure forms a complete globe, referencing themes of exploration and global exchange. The trunks\u2019 structural integrity alone holds the piece together, exemplifying the balance of strength and lightness that defines the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.louisvuitton.com\/dispatch?noDRP=true\"><strong>House<\/strong><\/a>\u2019s craftsmanship.<\/p>\n<p>a hemispherical globe is built from 138 Louis Vuitton trunks<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wow wow-yellow\">a celebration of Japanese influences<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to its context in Osaka, Louis Vuitton and OMA prominently feature Japan as both subject and context throughout the exhibition. A dedicated gallery, <strong>Louis Vuitton and Japan<\/strong>, examines artistic and cultural exchanges between the brand and the country. The display spans centuries, from traditional garments and samurai armor to contemporary pop culture, all arranged on modular platforms evocative of tatami mats.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Other rooms trace the evolution of Louis Vuitton\u2019s creative codes. In the <strong>Origins<\/strong> room, a hand-woven bamboo armature carries the timeline of the Maison\u2019s six historic eras, reflecting a shared respect for craftsmanship. Two galleries are devoted to the Monogram canvas, charting its development from early influences, including Japanese motifs, to its use in contemporary designs.<\/p>\n<p>hand-woven bamboo structures and archival materials highlight LV\u2019s craftsmanship legacy<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Expeditions<\/strong> gallery immerses visitors inside a full-scale inflatable hot-air balloon that doubles as a display structure and projection surface. In the <strong>Materials<\/strong> gallery, a dense arrangement of foundational components is presented in a way that appears weightless, giving visitors the sense of peering into an infinite archive. Atelier Rarex, a selection of exceptional pieces, is displayed along a boulevard backdrop modeled on the mansard roofline of Louis Vuitton\u2019s Paris flagship.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Workshop<\/strong> gallery incorporates arched windows, sawtooth roofs, and workbenches modeled after the House\u2019s Asni\u00e8res atelier, where craftspeople conduct live demonstrations. Mirrored \u2018skylights\u2019 allow these processes to be observed from anywhere in the room. Meanwhile, the <strong>Testing<\/strong> gallery introduces visitors to the machinery and protocols behind product durability, bringing the brand\u2019s laboratory into the museum context.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In the <strong>Collaborations<\/strong> gallery, four mirrored domes house works by artists and brands such as Stephen Sprouse, Supreme, Yayoi Kusama, and Takashi Murakami. The reflections create a kaleidoscopic environment that reconstitutes each partnership as part of Louis Vuitton\u2019s broader creative ecosystem.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>an inflatable hot-air balloon and mirrored displays offer immersive environments for storytelling<\/p>\n<p>a gallery dedicated to Japan explores the brand\u2019s cultural exchanges using tatami-inspired platforms<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>live workshops and testing galleries recreate the Asni\u00e8res atelier within the museum<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>Shohei Shigematsu organizes four zones focused on history, craft, codes, and cultural dialogue<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>mirrored domes reflect key collaborations in a kaleidoscopic environment of contemporary design<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>project info:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>name:\u00a0<\/strong>Visionary Journeys<\/p>\n<p><strong>designer:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.louisvuitton.com\/dispatch?noDRP=true\">Louis Vuitton<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/louisvuitton\/\">@louisvuitton<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>exhibition design:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oma.com\/partners\/shohei-shigematsu\">Shohei Shigematsu \/ OMA<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/shohei_shigematsu\/?hl=en\">@shohei_shigematsu<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/omanewyork\/?hl=en\">@omanewyork<\/a><br \/>\n<strong>museum:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/nakka-art.jp\/en\/\">Nakanoshima Museum of Art<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/nakkaart2022\">@nakkaart2022<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>location:\u00a0<\/strong>Osaka, Japan<\/p>\n<p><strong>dates:\u00a0<\/strong>July 15th \u2014 September 17th, 2025<\/p>\n<p><strong>photography:\u00a0<\/strong>courtesy Louis Vuitton<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/design\/oma-japanese-louis-vuitton-exhibition-osaka-nakanoshima-museum-visionary-journeys-07-30-2025\/\">OMA explores japanese craft and culture through louis vuitton exhibition in osaka<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/\">designboom | architecture &amp; design magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Louis Vuitton Opens oma-designed show in osaka \u00a0 Louis Vuitton: Visionary Journeys is now open at the Nakanoshima Museum of Art in Osaka, Japan.
