"Art should not be something separate, but should permeate all of life, every object we touch, every space we inhabit. "
Sophie Taeuber-Arp on Decorative Arts, 1929
3-drawers chest
by Sophie Taeuber-Arp
Edition of a chest of drawers from 1929 designed by the artist for his studio in Meudon in partnership with the Arp Taeuber Fondation.
"Sophie Taeuber-Arp quickly established herself as one of the pioneers of abstraction, which she initially approached through textile creation before exploring it in all artistic forms. Her geometric compositions and synthesis of artistic disciplines make her an essential figure of the 20th-century avant-garde. With a focus on design, the partnerships established by the Fondation aim to integrate the artist into a world that is familiar to her, but which doesn't yet fully understand her. "
