Associate partner of Art Basel Paris 2025 for the third consecutive year, Louis Vuitton unveiled its new Artycapucines collection, designed in collaboration with Takashi Murakami.
To mark the event, the Japanese artist curated a unique installation presented on the majestic Balcon d'Honneur at the Grand Palais.
For this edition, Takashi Murakami featured an eight-meter-high sculpture of an octopus, inspired by Chinese lanterns whose tentacles took over the exhibition space. The octopus's luminescent head showcases Murakami's iconic Superflat Jellyfish Eyes pattern, which first entered the artist's visual language back in 2001.
The 11 creations in the Artycapucines VII – Louis Vuitton x Takashi Murakami collection were displayed within the tentacles of the sculpture, designed in dialogue with his signature characters and motifs. The collection features a variety of bags, from the Capubloom and Capucines East West Rainbow to the Panda Clutch. The unique pieces celebrate the alliance of the artist's talent and creativity with the signature savoir-faire and craft of the Maison's masterful artisans.
This presentation renews Louis Vuitton's commitment to contemporary creation and marks a new highlight in the Maison's artistic collaboration with Takashi Murakami, which began in 2003.
