Louis Vuitton at World Expo 2025 Osaka-Kansai

For the French Pavilion at World Expo 2025 Osaka-Kansai, OMA designed two rooms dedicated to Louis Vuitton. Led by Partner Shohei Shigematsu and Project Leader Jesse Catalano, the installations introduce a dual experience of Louis Vuitton’s savoir-faire within the larger context of the pavilion’s theme, “A Hymn to Love.”

“A Hymn to Love” threads together five odes, signified by Rodin’s sculptures of the hand. The Cathedral (the hand that unifies), serves as the symbol for Louis Vuitton’s ode to savoir-faire and the enduring connection between craftsmanship and ever-evolving creativity.
