Louis Vuitton is making waves with the launch of two stunning new versions of its iconic Bed Trunk, created in collaboration with Nicolas Ghesquière and Pharrell Williams. This reimagined trunk is not only a nod to the brand’s rich history but also a celebration of modern luxury for sophisticated travelers.
Originally designed for explorers in 1868, the Bed Trunk has long been a symbol of elegance and functionality. Louis Vuitton’s latest iteration features a classic Monogram canvas exterior and a clever, foldable aluminum and beechwood bed frame that transforms effortlessly into a comfortable sleeping space. The trunk comes with a thick, four-part mattress topped with memory foam, ensuring a restful night’s sleep, no matter where you are.

Fresh Takes on a Classic
Nicolas Ghesquière’s design introduces a futuristic twist, incorporating elements from his previous collections. The exterior features engraved metal plates and modern corner pieces that evoke a sense of avant-garde style. Inside, a floral-patterned mattress adds a romantic flair, reminiscent of designs from the Spring-Summer 2018 collection.
Pharrell Williams takes inspiration from the archives, crafting a Bed Trunk that combines distressed stripes on the outside—echoing a classic 1872 canvas—with vibrant red and white stripes on the inside. The jacquard mattress and pillow showcase “LV Lovers” embroidery, marrying historic elegance with contemporary flair.
Both designs not only honor the legacy of Louis Vuitton but also redefine luxury travel. With these innovative Bed Trunks, every journey becomes an extraordinary experience, ensuring that style and comfort go hand in hand. Don’t miss your chance to discover these unique collector’s pieces. —Vita Daily
