I'd love to decorate my place with ornate Marcel Wanders pieces. And while his recent teaming with Target may bring me closer to an affordable version of that domestic-goddess fantasy, I want the real deal — boxy chairs with elaborately patterned upholstery, crocheted lamps, egg-shaped bathtubs, a bedroom set dedicated to the art of sleeping. The designer's portfolio overflows with luscious paradoxes of rigid modernity and lucid intricacies. Catch his seductive collection, along with videos of the man at work, through next summer at the Art Museum.
