Louis Vuitton Island Maison


Louis Vuitton Island Maison

A floating glass pavillion structure located on the waters of
Marina Bay in Singapore


The Louis Vuitton Island Maison store located on the waters of Marina Bay in Singapore is truly a stunning structure especially at night when the light illuminates from the glass structure. The store is the world’s largest Louis Vuitton boutique outside of the flagship store in Champs-Elysee in Paris.

The LV Island Maison was a design collaboration by architect Moshe Safdie, who created the structure  and designer Peter Marino, who created the interiors. The glass pavilion is a  25,000 square foot  structure and the panels were surfaced with UV resistant membrane skin to protect the luxury goods on display inside from the sun’s harmful rays.

The store’s interiors is nautical-inspired and is apt for the brand’s association with travel and the store’s location on the waters of Marina Bay. The store has three floors. The ground floor is usually used for exhibits and art events, the second floor features the bags, shoes, and clothes and the third features the luggage, books and a relaxing viewing deck similar to a viewing deck of a yacht.


Below are some of the things we saw during a visit at the store last month:
