Louis Vuitton, which has continuously explored the realms of culture and art beyond fashion, is redrawing the culinary map of Seoul. On September 1st, the first permanent dining space in Korea, ‘Le Café Louis Vuitton,’ will officially open on the 4th floor of the Louis Vuitton Maison Seoul, a masterpiece designed by architect Frank Gehry. This place will be a special stage to experience the art of French living, ‘Art de Vivre,’ through all five senses, transcending the notion of a simple café in Cheongdam-dong.
The Encounter of Architecture, Cuisine, and Books
Under the dome-shaped ceiling, ‘Le Café Louis Vuitton,’ inspired by the Suwon Hwaseong Fortress and the traditional Korean dance, unfolds within a warm and delicate space designed by architect Peter Marino. The most notable feature of this place, where natural light pours in, is the combination of a café and a library. The carefully selected books by a book curator and chef, along with various publications from the Louis Vuitton edition, add cultural depth to the culinary experience and provide creative inspiration to visitors.
