From June 25, 2026, to January 11, 2027, the Horta Museum presents the exhibition Art Nouveau versus Art Deco? 1850–1950: A Century in 32 Seats. The exhibition features thirty chairs by leading designers, from Victor Horta and Henry van de Velde to Le Corbusier and Marcel Breuer, offering insight into a century of transformation in design and architecture in the Western world. Although Art Nouveau and Art Deco are often seen as opposites, this exhibition brings them into dialogue through the chair, an iconic object in interior architecture. The chair serves as the central thread and illustrates how designers are connected across generations. At the same time, industrial design students from La Cambre present their own seating prototypes in Victor Horta’s house and studio. One design will be selected to become a permanent part of the museum collection.
