LE MOBILIER SURREALISTE by Pietro Costa Viappiani

In his 1924 Surrealist Manifesto, André Breton explained that the movement seeks to “resolve the previously contradictory conditions of dream and reality into an absolute reality, a super-reality.” What started out as an art and literary style transformed into a movement, affecting everything from fashion and film to interior design. Through unleashing the creativity of the unconscious mind with strange, dreamlike imagery, the surrealists created their own interior environment that offered a stark contrast to the prevailing views of interior design of the era.
