How does a Berlin-based designer find himself developing the look, feel, and functionality of Louis Vuitton’s entrée into beauty? In the case of Konstantin Grcic, there’s a circularity to the appointment. Louis Vuitton the man was a trunkmaker, and Grcic’s best-known works include an ergonomic work caddy for Vitra and a set of stacking stools that have been exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

For La Beauté Louis Vuitton, Grcic built the collection of lipstick and eyeshadow cases around a golden ring that swivels shut with the dexterity of a lock; he got the idea from the brass fittings of the maison’s historic trunks. “It’s a nod to heritage but also a powerful marker of identity,” says Grcic, who avoided plastic, working instead with reusable aluminum and brass components. “The way it feels in your hand, the sound of the closure, the temperature of the materials—these are all part of the emotional connection.”
