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.
The exhibition juxtaposes surrealist works of art and design objects to reveal fascinating cross-references. Surrealism encouraged certain designers to explore the reality behind what is visible and to create challenging, innovative objects that questioned our habits. The movement freed post-war design from the straitjacket of functionalism and shifted our gaze from the form of things to their oft-hidden messages. Objects of Desire explores this phenomenon, through works by emblematic artists, showcasing one of the most fertile dialogues between art and design in the last hundred years.
