FURNITURE WITHOUT FORM

Since the 1960s, contemporary artists have transcended and redefined traditional relations between materials and form by means of the experimental, often seemingly formless use of a variety of materials. As a first, the exhibition “Furniture without Form” shows that the rule “form follows material” was also applied – and still is – in the design of everyday objects: to this day, designers playfully oppose the so-called right shape and the marketing of conformity in living environments.
