The companion app

The LV Connect application allows to use the new LV connected object (speaker, watch...). It also inspires a strong emotional connection with the brand through appealing UI. The challenge was to find the right balance between 3 elements: ultra functional side (native usages, high performances, latest OS innovation), brand storytelling, and an immersive experience. Clients are not buying a regular connected product. They’re buying a LOUIS VUITTON experience. We need to reflect this magic within the design & interaction.

Colors and design system

We designed the application in the dark mode and played with the gradients to highlight objects. We used Apple best practice guidelines for Apps and added the immersive Louis Vuitton universe to create the exclusive experience. You can choose your gradient and the application will adapt thanks to the design system. Each connected object is magnified with the light effects, animations and gradients. Light creates a different atmosphere for each object’s universe. The 45° gradient style is used to put forward action elements from the lighter on the top left to the darker on the bottom right.

Onboarding & pairing

At the beginning of the experience, you need to connect your speaker to the app.
There are 2 options: by using bluetooth or Wi-Fi. Once the object is found and connected, you can play music. The advantage of this application is that it can support the user throughout the whole experience. If you need help, you can play an animated tutorial that explain everything.

Travel

The user has different ways to add the trip details, such as the departure airport, the destination airport, then the date, etc. The most popular way to add themis through search.
