European Design

European Design at the High Museum

I went to the High with my mom today, and we decided to go to the European design exhibit because it was the last day! The first thing I noticed as I walked in was all the interesting furniture; for example, there were glass chairs, bronze chairs, copper furniture, and a snail shaped bookshelf.  All the furniture was unique and truly art. The second floor had other amazingly designed artworks, and I wish I could have taken pictures of everything. The second floor reminded me of the store IKEA a lot! My favorite thing on this floor was a funky green brass and glass chandelier.  Mickey Mouse was even incorporated into a chair; the back of the chair looked like Mickey’s head, and the feet of the chair were like Mickey’s shoes. The third floor was named Modern Design, and this was by far my favorite section of the exhibit. Right when we walked in my mom noticed a vacuum cleaner, and it surprised that someone would consider this art. But in way, I can see how it could be art. The vacuum was strangely designed and actually kind of cool. Maybe if  I had that vacuum, I might want to vacuum! There was an awesome strobe light thing next to it that I also really enjoyed! The lamps on this floor were the perfect description of art. They included a hanging lamp that resembled a cloud, a massive white floor lamp, and a modern and traditional chandelier, which was a normal chandelier covered with a glass cylinder around it! My mom really like a couch that looked like a dog from a side view.  To end our European design tour, we saw the lamp that was a gun and a knife holder, which was a human wooden head. Those two artworks were a little strange.
