Luxury Trunk Furniture: Louis Vuitton’s Bed Trunk Revival

Luxury trunk furniture in interior design is making a bold return with Louis Vuitton’s revival of one of its most innovative archival creations: the Bed Trunk. At Guidon Studio, we are passionate about timeless design and craftsmanship, and this week we are thrilled to spotlight this reimagined masterpiece that merges historical ingenuity with modern luxury. Originally crafted in 1868 for the world’s elite explorers, the Bed Trunk allowed 19th-century travelers to journey in the ultimate comfort of their own mobile bed. Today, Louis Vuitton breathes new life into this concept, transforming it into a stunning collector’s item that also holds interior design appeal.

Although Louis Vuitton is best known today for its luxury fashion, its origins lie in exceptional travel craftsmanship. Founded in 1854, the brand pioneered bespoke travel trunks designed for sophistication and function. From portable wardrobes to writing desks, Louis Vuitton’s archival pieces have long embodied the intersection of design and lifestyle. The original Bed Trunk stood out as a symbol of refined travel—a unique fusion of utility and elegance.

Now reinterpreted for contemporary tastes, the Bed Trunk comes in three distinct editions. The classic Monogram canvas version honors the brand’s heritage with timeless charm, while Nicolas Ghesquière’s metallic floral jacquard design brings a futuristic elegance. Pharrell Williams’ version offers a playful, modern twist with his LVERS motif and striped aesthetic. Each trunk includes a foldable bed frame, viscoelastic mattress, and detachable side table—making it as functional as it is fashionable. Beyond its travel purpose, this piece is a showstopper in modern interiors, echoing a growing trend toward collectible, narrative-driven furnishings.

At Guidon Studio, we’re inspired by how design icons like Louis Vuitton continue to push the boundaries of function and beauty. The Bed Trunk is not just a travel companion—it’s a statement in contemporary interior design, offering elegance, heritage, and purpose in one cohesive piece. Stay with us as we continue to highlight the art of living through iconic design stories.

Warm Regards,

The Guidon Studio Team
