BESESSEN. Die geheime Kunst des Polsterns – GRASSI Museum für Angewandte Kunst

Upholstered seating objects are familiar to us all as more or less constant companions of everyday life. Upholstery is cosy, it conveys security and promises comfort, it has a specific design, asserts or creates status and tells story(s). We give little thought to their inner life. Yet a glimpse into the hidden interior of chairs and armchairs is a journey into secrets, into laced and sprung constructions that turn out to be unknown masterpieces of craftsmanship. “OBSESS. The Secret Art of Upholstery” traces the furniture and its inner life, conveys sensual and playful interesting facts, invites comparative test sitting and shows why upholstery is always also part of a cultural and social history.
