Living with Masterpieces

The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and Sedar Global collaborate on a limited-edition collection offering for summer 2025

In an inspired continuation of a successful collaboration, Sedar Global and The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met) have launched the second chapter of their exclusive partnership: a limited-edition summer 2025 home interiors collection that brings world-famous masterpieces into the heart of modern living.

Available now online and across Sedar Global showrooms throughout the MENA region, the new collection invites customers to customise wallpaper, blinds, curtains, cushions and more with celebrated artworks from The Met’s vast and iconic collection. Designed to infuse everyday interiors with timeless elegance and artistic expression, the range is a curated blend of historic inspiration and contemporary design sensibility.

This latest offering showcases an eclectic mix of global artistic heritage – spanning the bold brushwork of Vincent van Gogh, the dreamlike landscapes of Claude Monet and the expressive abstractions of Vasily Kandinsky. Romantic flourishes by British master J.M.W. Turner sit alongside dramatic scenes by Eugène Delacroix and Arkhip Kuindzhi, while ancient narratives are brought to life through interpretations of Charles K. Wilkinson’s works, which depict vivid scenes from Ancient Egypt.

Each artwork in the collection offers its own visual story. Van Gogh’s ‘The Flowering Orchard’ bursts with colour and vitality, capturing the essence of spring in Provence. Monet’s coastal-inspired ‘Palm Trees at Bordighera’ and ‘The Path Through the Irises’ evoke serenity and sun-drenched elegance. Kandinsky’s striking abstract compositions offer a bold statement for modern, minimalist homes.

Meanwhile, whimsical landscapes by French artist Albert Tissandier and 16th-century Dutch painter Cornelis van Poelenburgh bring a pastoral charm to interior spaces. Turner’s atmospheric renderings of Venice – reflected across blinds and cushions – immerse rooms in the romance of historic waterways, bridging fine art with function.

“The summer 2025 collection offers a fresh perspective on how interiors can be elevated through art,” says Nahel Selo, Creative Director at Sedar Global. “Bringing together Sedar Global’s longstanding heritage with the historic Met collection, our collaboration allows customers to let their creativity flourish as they create unique living environments with stories to tell.”

Josh Romm, Head of Global Licensing and Partnerships at The Met, echoes the sentiment: “We are thrilled to continue our successful collaboration with Sedar Global and inspire art lovers in the Middle East to bring highlights from The Met collection into their homes. Our collaboration encourages customers to further explore their love of art while creating deeply personal interior design.”

Customers can browse a curated library of licensed artworks in-store or online and tailor each piece to their preferred dimensions and finishes – transforming their homes into living galleries that celebrate art, heritage and self-expression.
