Abstract This article proposes, in an exploratory way, a rapprochement between aesthetics and communication, focusing on the production of meaning in works of design and art. It resorts to the empirical object “Favela Chair”, by the Campana brothers, and to the painting “Notary”, by Jean Michel Basquiat, in order to reflect on the construction of meaning of these cultural objects, expanding the horizon of interpretation from the symbolic to the social and political level. We seek thus to build up a critical reflection on contemporary art and design, unveiling some power structures underlying the field of cultural industry.
