We discover the unique pieces in the Thyssen Store, inspired by works from the collection.

Design and art weren't always linked. For many years, they remained on parallel paths, although they've always shared certain references and a great sensitivity on the part of those who create. For years, the two disciplines have been growing closer thanks to the collaboration between artists and the renewed importance of craftsmanship; a return to the past, a return to reconnecting with the ways of doing things of yesteryear and its more leisurely times. What is craftsmanship, if not a vindication of the slow life?

This symbiosis of art, design, and craftsmanship has been the hallmark of the Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza shop for almost two decades. Here, we find unique pieces found only there and the result of collaborations with some of the finest artisans and designers. They are inspired by works of art from the Museum's collection and temporary exhibitions. The result is a dialogue between contemporary creation, craftsmanship, design, and art based on values such as sustainability and classic and contemporary creation.

Thus, we find, for example, the Delaunay x Lladró porcelain bottle and glass set, in which the emblematic porcelain sculpture brand pays tribute to Sonia Delaunay , one of the greatest representatives of abstract art and the avant-garde movements of the 20th century.

To create the perfect home, this set is complemented by the Young Gentleman chopstick rest set, also by Lladró, inspired by the work Young Gentleman in a Landscape (circa 1505) by Renaissance master Vittore Carpaccio. Likewise, the Grasshopper Chinese Vase porcelain plate by designer Yukiko Kitahara is inspired by the work Chinese Vase with Flowers, Shells and Insects (1628), and the bowls based on Max Ernst's work Untitled (Dada) (1922-1923) were created by artist and wood craftsman Aitor Punto.

For her part, artist Marta Lorca has created porcelain pieces inspired by the work Bailarina swaying (Green Dancer) (1877-1879) by Impressionist painter Edgar Degas. Likewise, designer Carlota Pereiro has been inspired by The Garden of Eden (circa 1610-1612) by Jan Brueghel the Elder to create a collection of earthenware pieces in collaboration with La Cartuja de Sevilla .

We also can't forget the gorgeous shoes designed by Magro Cardona in collaboration with Carlota Pereiro, inspired by Sonia Delaunay's 1925 work , *Dresses Simultaneous (Three Women, Shapes, and Colors) . You'll want to wear them everywhere.

In the field of jewelry, Belén Bajo delights us with this onyx gold and steel necklace inspired by El Lissitzky , a Russian artist, designer and typographer known for his works with very marked geometric shapes.

These are just a few of the exclusive items you'll find in the Thyssen Museum shop, where you can explore an extensive catalog ranging from designer jewelry to notebooks, as well as fashion with artistic prints, footwear, ceramic pieces, lamps, bags, tablecloths, clocks, puzzles, posters, and scented candles.
