Louis Vuitton’s London Maison reopened yesterday, 24th October at 17-20 New Bond Street. The store underwent 14 months of renovations unveiling a metamorphosis that has transformed the store space, where two different buildings are combined into one new location.
The new design by New York based architect Peter Marino, is a complete reimagining of the space on New Bond street, on the new rise of 'The Spectacle Store' of luxury retailers. Inside, the reopened store features a sweeping double helix shaped staircase crafted in cerused oak and worked as a sculpture with an offset centre.
