A Feat of Craftsmanship

Showcasing Louis

Vuitton’s savoir-faire, an innovative serigraphy technique reproduces Kusama’s brushstrokes, giving a strikingly realistic hand-painted 3D effect. Applied by hand, one-byone, various sized metal half spheres animate a selection of pieces in the collection with a stunning silver mirror effect.
