Contemporary arts, design and collecting have always been intrinsic to Chatsworth House.

Continuing this tradition, Contemporary art, design and collecting have always been intrinsic to Chatsworth. Successive generations of the Devonshire family have commissioned and displayed work by leading artists and up-and-coming makers since the 17th century, and the 21st century is no exception.

Make Yourself Comfortable at Chatsworth sees items from the private collection of the Duke and Duchess showcased alongside furniture by internationally acclaimed and innovative designers – from Thomas Heatherwick and Amanda Levete, to Marc Newson, Tokujin Yoshioka, Piet Hein Eek and Moritz Waldemeyer. The exhibition also showcased thought-provoking, specially commissioned pieces, including Raw Edges’ End Grain seating which has become part of the Sculpture Gallery, and Synthesis IV by emerging designer Tom Price which was on display in the Chapel.

Positioned throughout the historic house, the exhibition was designed to be engaging, offering visitors the opportunity to experience the house and collection in new and surprising ways, to make themselves comfortable at Chatsworth. Visitors were encouraged to engage with the chair designs on display; to sit, take part in and enjoy the exhibition.
