Masterpieces of Furniture Design Exhibition at M7

Events Details

This exhibition is presented in partnership with the Vitra Design Museum, featuring more than 50 iconic pieces that span 200 years of design.

Drawn from the renowned Vitra Design Museum collection, the exhibition will present a comprehensive selection of modern furniture, including original works by leading designers such as Alvar Aalto, Le Corbusier, Charles and Ray Eames, Charlotte Perriand and Virgil Abloh.

The exhibition is accompanied by the encyclopaedic Atlas of Furniture Design, the most comprehensive book on furniture design ever published.

The exhibits are grouped according to 7 principles that can define excellence in design – from design’s close ties to art to its potential at reaching socially or ecologically sustainable solutions. An archival section in the centre of the room features prototypes, material samples, drawings, posters, and other documents from the Vitra Design Museum’s records that provide background information about the inspirations and design processes behind the exhibits. The large-scale images on the walls depict the works in the historical setting for which they were created or in which they were presented for the first time.
