Inside Out Einsichten der Möbelkunst (englisch)

Between the 2 November 2018 and the 24 February 2019 the Museum of Decorative Arts Berlin presents an exceedingly elaborate example of Neoclassical furniture in all of its individual parts. Their detailed virtuosity poses general questions about technique and workmanship as well as about aesthetic qualities of furniture design, revealing the essence of the art of furniture making: the timeless pleasure in elegantly curved veneer surfaces, in the artful presentation of the natural material of wood and in the mechanics of transformability as it still exists in part in todays technically and industrially shaped furniture production.
