Pyrex to Louis

[11] Studio Worktable

Summary:

A laboratory of prototypes and fragments—Abloh's working surface frozen in motion. Leather "vegetables," Pyrex prints, toolboxes, and paint jars evoke the restless pace of constant experimentation.

Items Featured:

  • PYREX Tote (2012–2013): Rare, custom piece from Abloh's Pyrex Vision era, crafted from industrial fabric with varsity lettering. It reimagines the utilitarian tote as a conceptual art object, questioning the value systems of fashion and design.
  • PYREX Pillowcase (1/1 by Luka Sabbat): A one-of-one repurposed flannel Pyrex 23 pillowcase contributed by Luka Sabbat exclusively for this exhibition. It symbolizes the continuity between Abloh's circle of collaborators and his DIY design ethos — transforming humble materials into relics of cultural memory.
  • Louis Vuitton Mini Trunks "TOOL BOX" (Ri Ri / VAA, 2017): Created during Abloh's ongoing dialogue with the Maison, these miniature trunks reinterpret Vuitton's travel heritage through the lens of functionality and street culture. Their utilitarian aesthetic and coded inscriptions ("Ri Ri," "VAA") act as tools of creative transmission rather than luxury ornamentation.
  • Louis Vuitton "Wizard of Oz" Sweater (c. 2018): A surreal knit merging cinematic nostalgia and couture craftsmanship. The piece embodies Abloh's fascination with myth, fantasy, and the transformative power of storytelling within fashion.
