What furniture piece did Salvador Dalí design in the shape of Mae West’s lips?

Salvador Dalí designed the Mae West Lips Sofa in the shape of Mae West’s lips.

The surrealist furniture piece was created in 1938, with the design associated with Dalí and the British poet and art patron Edward James. Its bright red, full-lipped form transforms a familiar body part into functional furniture, a characteristic example of Surrealism’s collision between ordinary objects and dreamlike imagery.

The sofa was inspired by Dalí’s fascination with American actress Mae West. It is often linked to Dalí’s 1934–35 painting Mae West’s Face which May Be Used as a Surrealist Apartment, in which the actress’s face becomes an imagined room. The original sofa is held by Brighton Museum, while versions and replicas have appeared in museums and design collections worldwide.
