Louis Vuitton Adds an Invisible Layer of Privacy

Service

Our goal is to work closely with partners to help customers achieve greater success in multiple fields.

The Challenge

Louis Vuitton's China headquarters was designed around glass. Full-height partitions between the working core, the meeting rooms and the sample areas keep daylight deep into the floor plan and the spaces open to one another. They also put the house's most sensitive material in plain view: design drafts and new-product samples, weeks or months ahead of launch.

The obvious answers were not available to a maison whose business is appearance. Frosted film scatters light and takes the glass down with it; blinds and screens close rooms that were built to stay open. Any solution had to sit inside the headquarters' existing neutral palette — the interior architecture had to read exactly as it did before.

The Solution

Celaeno® Film was applied to the partitions enclosing the core workspaces, meeting rooms and sample display areas. Its transparent grey tint sits inside the headquarters' existing neutral palette, so the interior architecture reads exactly as it did before. The film works as an optical filter rather than a frosted panel: from outside, screen content and sample material dissolve into shadow, while from inside the room the space remains bright and open.

Approximately 600 m² was installed in February 2026 by an authorized Nanhai Display dealer, working area by area — no structural change to the glazing, and no downtime for the teams using the space.

The Result

Design drafts and new-product samples are no longer readable from outside the partitions, while the working core keeps the daylight and openness it was designed for.

The project has been formally signed off by Louis Vuitton's facilities team.

The headquarters now stands as a reference for Celaeno® Film in a luxury office environment — where the brief is as much about how a space looks as about what can be seen through it.
