Resplendent Dreams: Reawakening the Rococo

On View June 6 2025 - March 30, 2026

Inspired by the exhibition Resplendent Dreams: Reawakening the Rococo, this product collection channels the Rococo period’s sense of frivolity and extravagance to create pieces that feel both opulent and contemporary. Drawing from the exhibition’s celebration of queer creativity and the dazzling influence of drag design, the collection reflects how 18th-century ideals of beauty, ornamentation, and playfulness continue to resonate today. With nods to both historical craftsmanship and modern reinterpretation, each piece invites you to revel in a world where the past and present collide in a flourish of whimsy, elegance, and theatrical flair.
