The bookshop
The bookshop of the Fondation Louis Vuitton is an area for discoveries dedicated to creation, a window open on the current state of contemporary art, particularly at the international level.
Aware of the diversity and demanding character of the audiences visiting the Fondation Louis Vuitton, the bookshop's team proposes a multidisciplinary offer built around four themes: contemporary art, architecture, the applied arts and youth.
To access the bookshop you need to have a Fondation ticket.
Publications
The Fondation's publications offer readers the opportunity to discover and understand the Fondation, what drives it, its architectural structure and its cultural programme.
The works available include exhibition catalogues, monographic studies, limited editions by artists, children’s books, a book in Braille for the visually impaired and a magazine published twice a year that provides details on the cultural programme and unveils the works presented at the Fondation.
Creations
For its merchandising products the Fondation Louis Vuitton wanted to draw its inspiration from the architecture and the building's seven principal materials - silkscreened glass, laminated plywood sheets, stainless steel, grey painted steel, transparent glass, Rocheron stone and Ductal.
These objects fall into the standard range of museum merchandising: the mugs are silkscreened glass or white porcelain, bags are of untreated cotton, candles play on transparency, the umbrellas recall the glass sails, make-up bags turn inside-out.
