[Asia Economy Reporter Jeon Jinyoung] Louis Vuitton opened a pop-up restaurant, ‘Pierre Sang at Louis Vuitton,’ on the 4th at ‘Louis Vuitton Maison Seoul’ in Cheongdam-dong.

This place gained popularity even before opening, with all reservations fully booked within 5 minutes on the 26th of last month. At the restaurant visited during tea time at 3 PM on the 4th, most of the guests were women and couples, who proudly showed their affection for the brand by wearing Louis Vuitton products such as Louis Vuitton My Lockme.

The luxurious atmosphere of Louis Vuitton was evident throughout the restaurant. Hanging from the ceiling were 13,899 flower patterns used in the design of the ‘Louis Vuitton Objets Nomades Collection,’ sparkling brilliantly. Louis Vuitton recently produces furniture and interior products under the ‘Nomades Collection’ line through collaborations with various designers, and the ceiling decorations were inspired by this collection.

The napkin holders were made by recycling leftover leather from Louis Vuitton products and shaped into Louis Vuitton’s mascot, Vivienne. There was also a sculpture stacking Louis Vuitton trunks topped with bell-shaped lights from the Nomades Collection. It seemed to showcase the history of Louis Vuitton, which started from the trunk business, at a glance.

Tea time offers a choice between the 110,000 KRW ‘Savory Table’ and the 80,000 KRW ‘Sweet Table.’ The Savory Table includes a glass of champagne and appetizers such as Gruy?re cheese, truffle tart, and caviar cups. The cheese is sourced from the French region where Pierre Sang Boyer, the executive chef of Pierre Sang, is active, and is aged there.

The 80,000 KRW Sweet Table comes with tea and sweets like hazelnut chocolate, passion fruit mousse, and lemon madeleines. A popular item among customers is the Louis Vuitton character Vivienne made from raspberry and yuzu chocolate. People admired the detail of the Louis Vuitton logo engraved on the arm, calling it “cute,” and took out their phones to continuously take photos.

This pop-up restaurant stands out for its Korean-style reinterpretation of Louis Vuitton. Korean-French chef Pierre Sang Boyer oversees the restaurant, and he has a deep affection for Korean food, having even introduced bibimbap on the menu at his Paris restaurant. The caramel mousse served that day used Jeju Hallabong compote, and the sauces served with the appetizers included a strongly flavored sesame and sesame oil sauce, showing efforts to capture the Korean atmosphere.
