As Milan pulses with energy on the first day of Design Week, all eyes turn to the beating heart of the city’s luxury scene: Via Montenapoleone. This spring, the iconic shopping avenue welcomes a monumental reopening — Louis Vuitton’s flagship store, now completely transformed after three years of ambitious renovations.
Housed within the neoclassical Palazzo Taverna, at No. 2 Via Montenapoleone, the new Louis Vuitton flagship spans an impressive 4,500 square meters across four levels. The historic building — with its grand porticoed courtyard and classic Milanese balconies — has been masterfully restructured under the creative direction of architect Peter Marino. A sweeping glass canopy now crowns the inner courtyard, flooding the space with light and elegance.
This new boutique is a full-fledged cultural and lifestyle destination.
The World’s First Louis Vuitton Home Collections
For the first time globally, a Louis Vuitton store now features an entire floor dedicated to Louis Vuitton Home Collections. Grouped under one refined umbrella, the home collection includes:
Objets Nomades: A collaboration with top international designers featuring travel-inspired design pieces.
The Signature Collection: Furniture and lighting that reflect the Maison’s craftsmanship and codes.
Décor and textiles: Including luxurious cushions, throws, and home accessories.
Art de la Table: Elegant tableware infused with the Maison’s aesthetics.
Games: From LV-embellished chessboards and Mahjong sets to an eye-catching baby-foot table.
Italy’s First Louis Vuitton Restaurant and Café
Another first for the Maison: the DaV by Da Vittorio Louis Vuitton restaurant and café, now open in Milan. Tucked within the Palazzo Taverna courtyard and accessible both from inside the boutique and Via Bagutta, the venue is a collaboration with Da Vittorio, the acclaimed Bergamo-based restaurant family boasting three Michelin stars.
Described by the Cerea family as “the best of Italian tradition in a contemporary cultural context.” The focus? Sharing plates and comfort in a casual-chic spirit.
This marks Louis Vuitton’s first culinary venture in Italy, adding Milan to its growing list of gourmet outposts. From Saint-Tropez and Paris to Kyoto, Chengdu, and now Bangkok with Chef Gaggan Anand.
When in Milan for Design Week, this stop is non-negotiable for shopping, sipping an espresso in the courtyard café, or discovering the Objets Nomades collection in person.
