Borrowing its title from the French national motto, Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity provides a vibrant picture of design in France from the 1940s to today. It investigates how objects embody the ideas that have defined French public life for more than two centuries. Featured are furniture, industrial design, and craft by some of the most celebrated French designers of the present and recent past, including Roger Tallon, Pierre Paulin, Philippe Starck, and the Bouroullec Brothers.
