Incredible, Innovative, and Unexpected Contemporary Furniture Designs

This group of contemporary furniture represents both the ideas of the moment—innovative materials, technology, and manufacturing processes—and remnants of the past—traditional forms, processes, and natural materials. The High Museum of Art’s renowned contemporary design collection reflects the international nature of the field and features works ranging from high-tech pieces created on a computer to lyrical, handcrafted, low-tech designs in traditional media. The works exhibited here highlight the talents of some of the most important and compelling designers working today and show the incredible breadth and range of their intellect and creative prowess.
