Serving as the space’s visual centrepiece is a sweeping circular staircase that joins the store’s two levels.

Also visually stunning is a piece that was crafted specifically for the Vancouver location: a huge version of Marcel Wanders’ Diamond Screen. Woven from leather, this room divider is part of Louis Vuitton’s Objets Nomades collection of innovative travel-inspired furniture and home accessories.

A painting by Italian artist Isadora Capraro was specially created to hang on a curved wall in the store’s private shopping suite. The colourful artwork faces an amber-coloured coffee table by Hélène de Saint Lager, which sits under a Henri Bursztyn chandelier.

As for customization, a hot-stamping machine on the second floor can personalize leather goods, and a Paris-trained artisan is available on-site to paint bespoke designs onto hard-sided bags and luggage.
