The image of the Fondation Louis Vuitton is based on its 12 partially overlapping glass veils of convex surface with varying curvatures. Architect Frank Gehry designed the building as a boat with billowing sails, and only curved quadrangular windows could give it the desired appearance. They are composed of two extra-clear laminated glasses, one screen-printed with 50% density, and a slightly reflective metallic layer. This process catches the light and renews its color at every moment of the day.
