LVMH Foundation’s “crystal sailing ship” spectacular!

LVMH Foundation crystal sailing ship(Bois de Boulogne, Paris, France)  The new "crystal ship" sailing gallery is simply spectacular.  Well-known yachting photographer, Christophe Launay, took these photos of the Foundation Louis Vuitton, situated in a beautiful setting in Bois de Boulogne, Paris, France.

Frank Gehry designed a building that, through its strength and singularity, represents the first artistic step on the part of the Foundation Louis Vuitton.

This large “sailing ship” is covered in twelve glass sails, set on a water garden created for the occasion; it blends into the natural environment, amidst the woods and the garden, playing with light and mirror effects.  See more at- http://www.lvmh.com   Christophe Launay’s on-line gallery.
