Louis Vuitton is introducing its new Tableware collections, with two porcelain services, Constellation and Splendor, and the first cutlery set, Rivet.
Louis Vuitton presents its new Art of Dining collections, testaments to the Maison’s creativity, heritage and savoir-faire.
The Maison now offers complete sets of porcelain, cutlery, glasses and decanters, blending the unexpected with a touch of playfulness. These new collections reflect the creativity and expertise of a House that makes every moment a shared experience: the graphic spirit of Monogram flowers on fine porcelain, hand-blown glass, the Épi motif on sparkling silver or the LV initials illuminated in fine gold… Each piece fuses the heritage of the House with contemporaneity, celebrating the art of living in the Louis Vuitton way.
Constellation Collection
This Limoges porcelain collection christened Constellation was designed to bring a lively, artistic touch to every meal. Each porcelain piece is graced with a pointillism-inspired theme, seemingly hand-painted with an infinite number of dots, recalling the iconic Monogram flower.
From serving plates to dessert plates, from teapots to mugs, from cups to bowls – the collection’s thirteen pieces bring to mind delicate, optimistic constellations of bold or filigree beauty. The patterns echo elements of the Monogram – flower, star, petals. This design is unique, at once artistic and functional, striking the perfect balance between venerable tradition and contemporary. It gives subtle, optimistic elegance to every table setting, be it breakfast, dinner, teatime or a coffee break.
Splendor Collection
The Splendor service is a tribute to grand dining moments, combining the refinement of Limoges porcelain with the incomparable gleam of fine gold. Each of the seventeen pieces, from the serving plate to the sauce boat and including the rice bowls, sugar bowl and salad bowl, is decorated with a series of dynamic motifs: the Maison’s initials, the letters L and V, endlessly intertwining, echoing and mirroring each other. With a two-tone theme enhanced with gold, they heighten the movement of the superimposed designs, a trompe-l’oeil effect that gives this exceptional service even greater prestige and contemporary character, recalling the Louis Vuitton aesthetic codes.
The Monogram flower sits majestically at the centre of the plates presented at the gala dinner held on 5th October at the Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte, an occasion organised in aid of Retour aux Sources, a project to restore the Château’s fountains and gardens, and for which Louis Vuitton has been a principle benefactor. Here, the Splendor Tableware collection was revealed for the first time in all its glory.
Rivet Collection
For the first time at Louis Vuitton, the offer includes a fourteen-piece cutlery line. The Rivet collection was developed around the timeless trunk nail, a tribute to the artisanal savoir-faire so esteemed by the Maison. This collection, both elegant and functional and available in two variations, gives the cutlery the nail’s tubular shape.
The stainless-steel version of the Rivet cutlery set illustrates a quest for streamlined, contemporary spirit. Here, the intense shine of the pieces combines with bold lines, strongly bringing to mind the trunk nail. The Rivet silver-plated Épi cutlery set, on the other hand, features exquisite interpretations of the Maison’s iconic Épi motif. The graceful, enchanting movement of the pattern, as it wraps around the handles, recalls wheat fields rippling in the sun. The motif’s poetic execution on the precious shimmer of the silver renders every table setting rich and prestigious.
