Objects of desire. Surrealism and design 1924 – 2020

From its inception, Surrealism was inspired by design and everyday objects, altering them to make them more fanciful, dreamlike, ironic, terrifying or emotional. Despite this, the impact this artistic movement had on design is as intense as it is unknown. Surrealism encouraged designers to question the reality hiding behind what is visible, to design objects that break from routine and flee from everyday life. This influence extended through all areas of design in the last century: from furniture and interior design, to graphic design, fashion, film and photography.
