Surrealism and Design 1924 – Today

Curated with Vitra Design Museum, the
exhibition will explore design from the birth of surrealism in 1924 to
the current day; spanning classic Surrealist works of art and design as
well as contemporary surrealist responses.

The exhibition will uncover how one of the 20th century’s most
influential movements came to impact design through its questioning of
the conventional and its commitment to exploring the mind, unconscious
and mystical.

Surrealism and Design 1924 will bring together the best in Surrealist design, from furniture,
interior design, fashion, photography and world-renowned artworks from
Surrealist pioneers such as Salvador Dalí, Dora Maar, Man Ray, Leonora Carrington and Lee Miller, through to contemporary artists and designs, such as Schiaparelli, Dior, Björk.

The result is an exhibition filled with playful, curious, and poetic
objects that uncover the rich history of Surrealism and its fascinating
influence on design.
