La Nau dedicates an exhibition to the Valencian furniture industry and to the manufacture of curved furniture that we will copy here from Austria-Hungary at the end of the 19th century.

Aesthetics and reason is an exhibition that invites you to look with different eyes at the furniture in your grandmother's house that you had never paid attention to. AU
