A century after the Surrealist Manifesto, Franck Genser reinvents the art of dreams and the imaginary

The Surrealist movement, founded in 1924 by André Breton and other visionary artists, revolutionised the art world by exploring the unconscious and alternative realities. Defying the logical world of reason, surrealism questions the real world, not without humour, to project a new reality.

Franck Genser is a designer, and form is his language. On the occasion of the centenary of Surrealism, he has taken up this posture and brought it up to date.

Going against the grain of formal design codes, Franck Genser incorporates boldness and imagination into each of his pieces, revisiting themes dear to the Surrealists, such as dreams, the absurd and animals. Passionate about psychology, Franck Genser creates a world where anything is possible. From armchairs that free you from your own limitations to tables that plunge you into a world worthy of Alice in Wonderland, his creations push back the boundaries of the imagination.
