From carpets to wallpaper, from upholstery fabrics to clothing patterns, ornamentation defines our daily lives and reflects the spirit of the times. The exhibition All Over explores and questions the evolution of patterns and colors in furniture design between 1910 and 1940, a period marked by passionate debates on aesthetics, the role of women creators, and the birth of an accessible modernity through cinema and department stores.
Organized into three chapters, the exhibition spans thirty years in Belgium and Europe, covering upholstery fabrics and fashion, carpets, and wallpapers.
Rare textiles and creations, whether signed or anonymous, that shaped the interiors of the time have been carefully selected, offering a fresh perspective on decorative arts in the early 20th century.
The exhibition highlights works by André Mare, Edward Wadsworth, Elisabeth de Sadeleer, Evelyn Wyld, Eileen Gray, Georgette Leblanc, Marcel L’Herbier, Marcel-Louis Baugniet, René Magritte, Sylvie Féron, and Victor Servranckx, among others.
This exhibition is part of Art Déco@home, which brings together the Van Buuren Museum, the Boghossian Foundation, the Autrique House, and the Art Deco Society around this program.
