DROPHAUS prefabricated home was presented as the central set for the Louis Vuitton Fall Winter 2026 menswear show in Paris, conceived by Pharrell Williams in collaboration with hospitality company NOT A HOTEL. The structure was installed within a landscaped garden setting and used as the spatial framework through which models moved during the show. The prefabricated house features a compact footprint with expansive glazing that visually connects interior rooms to the surrounding environment. Its form was designed to function as a complete domestic space rather than a temporary stage element.
Inside the structure, furniture pieces from Williams’ HOMEWORK collection were arranged to define living, dining, and lounge zones. The layout created a continuous interior sequence that remained visible from multiple viewpoints around the site. The prefabricated construction allowed the house to be assembled as a standalone architectural object while serving as an immersive backdrop for the menswear presentation.
