‘Make Yourself Comfortable at Chatsworth’ // Contemporary Chair Design Exhibition.

Contemporary art, design and collecting have always been intrinsic to Chatsworth. Continuing this tradition, Chatsworth, home to the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire, will showcase the best in contemporary chair design with its headline exhibition, Make Yourself Comfortable at Chatsworth.

Successive generations of the Devonshire family have commissioned and displayed work by leading artists and up-and-coming makers since the 17th century, and the 21st century is no exception. Make Yourself Comfortable at Chatsworth will see items from the private collection of the Duke and Duchess showcased alongside furniture by internationally acclaimed and innovative designers – from Thomas Heatherwick and Amanda Levete, to Marc Newson, Tokujin Yoshioka, Piet Hein Eek and Moritz Waldemeyer. The exhibition will also showcase thought-provoking, specially commissioned pieces, including Raw Edges’ End Grain seating which will become part of the Sculpture Gallery, and Counterpart by Tom Price which will be on display in the Chapel.
