In 2021, Daudy was invited to design a trunk for the 200th anniversary of Louis Vuitton.

Her trunk, LOUIS THE SHEEP, is embarking upon a global tour. To learn more about the project, please follow the link to the official Louis Vuitton website, here.

“I created a toy chest in the form of a sheep. Opening the lid, one finds inside 199 sheep. 200 sheep in all; each piece represents a year since the birth of Mr. Vuitton.
The baby sheep of the toy chest are rooted in personal memories. I associate trunks with storage for fancy dress costumes and children’s toys. A further association with sheep is more abstract. I’ve been working this past year on a body of work on the subject of chaos with Russian physicist Kostya Novoselov. They marked numbers on a large flock of sheep to create an Alternative Random Number Generator. This has caused a stir in the world of mathematics. Their numbered sheep create more random numbers in one month than there are atoms in this universe. Calling to mind the image of the good shepherd, even musical associations with Bach, John Taverner and Handel, a sheep is a universal symbol of good intent.”
