How can we revive the literary and artistic England of the first half of the 19th century in a cultural vibrancy which has influenced the art of painting, writing, furniture, interior design as well as clothing? “The Cult of Beauty” which lends its name to the exhibition provides us a rare opportunity to gather our two activities: interior design and scenography! To recreate the lifestyle of this era and express its spirit through a variety of artistic media, the staging includes elements from interior architecture: blind or exposed window, screen, foam-coated seat, covered passageway, console-looking display cabinet... At the Musée d’Orsay, we apply the concept of habitat to the museum space, while exploiting partitioned spaces to recreate the cosy atmosphere of the houses of the time. In this warm and sensual interior full of contemplative and dream-like aspirations, the visitor is encouraged to identify with a Bohemian lifestyle, of which we like to underscore the contemporary and “So British” charm.
