Louis Vuitton’s 200th Birthday!! 4th August 2021
We’re beyond thrilled to have been invited to join the visionaries for Louis Vuitton‘s celebrations for their founder’s 200th birthday.
We were invited to use a ‘blank’ trunk to create a piece of art, so we couldn’t resist using it as a table for a “Mad Tea Party” from Alice in Wonderland. This is as a homage to Alice’s 150th birthday and the reimagining by Yayoi Kusama, as well as so many other artists over the years.

So very grateful to the brilliant team at Louis Vuitton, for Li Edelkoort & Philip Fimmano for the introduction, to all our friends and supporters locally and Internationally.
Also special thanks to Deborah Porter for her encouragement and advice over the years. No room for all the teapots, which would normally include a Rare Tea Company teapot! Rachel Guest held our hands through the scariest parts.
