Houselife

This collection, one of the largest in Europe, contains some of the most significant works of contemporary designers, French and international alike. This project is an opportunity to offer pieces of furniture and other objects the context which was originally theirs: a domestic world.

The exhibition will thus be held in two venues, in two extraordinary houses.

• One, the Hôtel de Lalande, built in the 18th century, which still has its original wooden panelling and parquet flooring, is a jewel of UNESCO’s Bordeaux heritage which houses the « Musée des Arts décoratifs et du Design » in Bordeaux.
• The other, the Maison Lemoine, is a fine example of contemporary and private architecture, emblematic of a modern dwelling which re-invents the relations between exterior and interior, between space and function, and between property and furniture, just a stone’s throw from Bordeaux’s centre.
