Vis-à-vis de Gala
< back to Art Editions
A sofa that encourages confidence, taken from Dalí’s compositions for Jean Michel Frank. A typical surreal interpretation of a piece of furniture extremely bourgeois and conventional. This piece carries the appearance of human elements - a feminine hand, one with a jewel and another masculine one with a watch, embracing those seated.
