Vitra Design Museum

Museum: Objects of Desire: Surrealism and Design 1924 – Today

Today: 12.00 PM - 5.00 PM

28 September 2019 - 19 January 2020

Surrealism was one of the most influential art movements of the twentieth century. In many works of Surrealists like Salvador Dalí, René Magritte, Meret Oppenheim, and Man Ray references to design objects can be found and since the 1930s, Surrealism has had a strong impact on design, from furniture, interiors, fashion to film and graphic design. The Vitra Design Museum will devote the first major exhibition to the dialogue between Surrealism and design. Objects of Desire will juxtapose Surrealist art works with design icons by some of the most prominent artists and designers of the past one hundred years to reveal fascinating parallels and cross-pollination.

With works by Gae Aulenti, BLESS, Claude Cahun, Achille Castiglioni, Giorgio de Chirico, Le Corbusier, Salvador Dalí, Marcel Duchamp, Ray Eames, Front Design, Frederick Kiesler, Shiro Kuramata, René Magritte, Carlo Mollino, Isamu Noguchi, Meret Oppenheim, Man Ray, Jerszy Seymour, and many others.

Institution

The Vitra Design Museum in Weil am Rhein numbers among the world's leading museums of design. It is dedicated to the research and presentation of design, past and present, and examines design's relationship to architecture, art and everyday culture. In the main museum building by Frank Gehry, the museum annually mounts two major temporary exhibitions. In addition, smaller shows are presented in the Vitra Museum Gallery, which often follow a more contemporary and experimental approach.

Often developed with renowned designers, many of the museum's exhibitions cover highly relevant contemporary themes, such as future technologies, sustainability or questions like mobility and social responsibility. Others are presenting historical topics or monographic exhibitions on iconic designers.

The exhibitions are accompanied by lectures, guided tours, workshops and educational programmes. Many of the museum’s exhibitions travel to partner museums all over the world. The work of the Vitra Design Museum is based on its unique collection of furniture, lighting and interior design.
