For the first time, this exhibition presents a perspective on home design centered on its female users.

This approach introduced a new concept of comfort, addressing aspects of domestic architecture that had previously been overlooked by architects, and foreshadowing the principles of the Modern Movement.

It showcases innovative solutions and design philosophies that emerged, aiming to enhance the efficiency and comfort of domestic life through systematic approaches and technological advancements, thereby laying groundwork for subsequent architectural and design paradigms.
