Lines that Moved the World

The Louis Vuitton Art Déco exhibition invites visitors to rediscover the artistry of motion and form that still propels the Maison forward

A hundred years ago, Paris staged an exhibition that would change the course of modern design.

The 1925 Exposition internationale des Arts décoratifs et industriels modernes (International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts) heralded a new aesthetic: one defined by clean geometry, bold materials and a faith in progress. It was here that Art Deco was born—and where Louis Vuitton, already a House synonymous with craftsmanship and travel, asserted its place.

Last September 26, 2025, the Maison revisited that key moment with Louis Vuitton Art Déco, an exhibition at LV Dream in Paris. It marked the centenary of the 1925 Exposition while examining the House's own dialogue with modern design.

Across eight rooms and more than 300 historical objects, the exhibition reconsidered how the Maison absorbed and advanced the language of Art Deco, and how that vision continues to shape its creative direction today.
