Chaise Longue by artist Isa Melsheimer deconstructs an everyday furniture piece, the deck chair. Installed on a wooden plank, the upholstery material is embroidered and has quirky sewn-on elements. With a flexible PVC, atop which a water fountain runs, it made for one of the most complex works to be installed and maintained. 

Step into the National Gallery of Modern Art and installations created with everyday objects will give you a semblance of familiarity. Step closer and the artworks would baffle you. Come In: Interior Design as a Contemporary Art Medium, an exhibition presented by the Goethe Institut in association with the NGMA, investigates the connection between fine art and applied design.
