Mae West Lips Sofa

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Mae West Lips Sofa (1937) is a surrealist object by Salvador Dalí. The wood and satin sofa was shaped after the lips of actress Mae West, whom Dalí apparently found fascinating.[1] It measures 86.5 x 183 x 81.5 cm. Edward James, a rich British patron of the Surrealists in the 1930's, commissioned this piece from Dali.
