An exhibition by the Vitra Design Museum that explores the close dialogue between Surrealism and design over the last hundred years
From Salvador Dalí to Meret Oppenheim and Iris van Herpen, the exhibition presents both pioneering works from the 1930s and contemporary projects. Even today, surrealism provides designers with a wealth of inspiration, whether through its fantastic motifs, its subversive approach, or its interest in the human psyche. Objects of Desire showcases this abundant diversity, bringing together design furniture and graphic design, fashion, decoration and photography.
In parallel, the Alchimie exhibition features surrealist glass art by Marc Chagall, Jean Cocteau and contemporary artists from mudac's collection, the largest in Europe.
