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:

Visiting the LV Island Maison store in Singapore is always nice since you get to see the latest fashion items from LV, books on art and travel and one can also enjoy seeing Singapore's well-known structures from the relaxing viewing deck.
