Surrealism may be known as a school in literature and fine arts, but the influence of this 20th-century movement on other domains cannot be underestimated. The world of contemporary design cannot escape a healthy portion of surrealistic humour. Forms with a Smile bundles designs and objects of modern surrealists and shows that nothing is what it seems to be. Hairy carpets, Lamps in the shape of a milk bottle, thumb drives cut from wood branches or chairs made from plush toys. Is it just humour? Or is it a stimulating statement wrapped in a contagious smile? Just like surrealism, design sometimes tells more thatn we think. Armed with subtle irony, these new surrealists wage war aginst a world reigned by a certain seriousness.
