Willie Morlon
Wunder Haus
Until 1st November 2025
Design Parade Toulon, Ancien Êvéché, France
Wunder Haus is an immersive artistic construction that evokes the spirit of a Wunderkammer—a cabinet of curiosities reimagined at architectural scale. Blending the fantastical with the functional, Morlon assembles fragments of memory, imagination, and craftsmanship into a hybrid space that is both house and sculpture. Echoing the eclectic nature of a traditional Wunderkammer, Wunder Haus becomes a playful sanctuary for materials and forms, where each object and element tells a story. Grand Prize of the jury Van Cleef & Arpels 2024 of Design Parade, Morlon’s work transcends categories, inviting viewers to explore a world where contemporary myth-making, architectural experimentation, and poetic materiality coexist in dynamic tension.
At once luxurious and makeshift, his constructions challenge the boundaries between art, design, and fiction—creating spaces of wonder, introspection, and delight. This “Ideal Home” of a multifaceted builder, Wunder Haus is somewhere between a luxurious home and a fantastical cabin. This playful construction turns architecture and contemporary applied arts into a playground for the imagination at the fringe of fine art and surrealism.
The exhibition has been produced in partnership with Codimat Collection, Atelier Mériguet-Carrère, Atelier François Pouenat, Delisle, Relax Factory, Ateliers Duchemin, with the support of Make’s Concept Store, Annabelle Demaers, Lila Vennat, Pierre Abadie. Guest artists : Alice Pandolfo, Audrey Jonchères
