The Mae West Lips Sofa is a surrealist sculpture in the form of a sofa by Salvador Dalí. The light red, 110 cm × 183 cm × 81.5 cm (43 in × 72 in × 32 in) sized seating furniture made of polyurethane foam coated with a red polidur coating was shaped in 1972 after the lips of actress Mae West, whom Dalí apparently found ...
Around 1934-1935, Dali used a photographic portrait of the actress Mae West, to paint a gouache picture called: The Face of Mae West which may be used as a surrealistic apartment. The painting illustrates his original plan for a paranoiac-critical room based on the features of her face.
In recent years, a number of design objects have been acquired, including the lobster telephone and the Mae West Lips Sofa. Dalì designed this sofa with his English benefactor Edward James. The lips of sex symbol and film star Mae West were the inspiration for this titillating piece of furniture.
The Mae West Lips sofa (as it has become known) is one of the most recognisable examples of modern furniture in the world. The making of a sofa was the idea of Surrealist patron, collector, collaborator and poet Edward James, one of the most important figures in the history of Surrealism.
