With an ongoing retrospective in Chicago and various collaborations in the works, the multi-hyphenate has been keeping himself busy
Architect, DJ, engineer, university lecturer, artist, entrepreneur, and artistic director at Louis Vuitton, Virgil Abloh will soon be adding furniture designer to his list of credentials—and we’re not talking about his upcoming collaboration with Ikea, which launches in November.
In a collaboration with Vitra, the multi-hyphenate has curated Twentythirtyfive, an installation that focuses on the interaction between an adolescent and his home surroundings. Showing from June 13 to the end of July in Zaha Hadid’s Fire Station on the Vitra Campus, Twentythirtyfive is a “residential biography of a fictitious teenager from the year 2019, accompanying him into the year 2035”.
