We saw the Frères Campana – Barroco Rococo at the Musee des Arts Decoratifs today. It is a tiny exhibition tucked away on the fifth floor behind an exciting display of contemporary design which we will blog about tomorrow!

This is the Campana brother’s first museum exhibition in France and they have some new pieces made especially for the occasion. I can’t help but think of Lenny Kravitz when I look at this work but then when I read about it, it becomes more interesting. A bit…They worked with a gallery in Rome for this collection, which explores the theme of ‘private Roman interiors’. The works all relate to stylistic movements such as Baroque and Rococo ‘with the aim of drawing parallels between design and architecture’ to quote the English language text for the exhibition. We are not convinced – perhaps we need further explanation. Taking decorative elements from the 17th and 18th century in miniature versions and casting them in bronze so they are used as structures for sofas and candelabrum. What do you think?
