Fornasetti
An accomplished painter, sculptor, interior decorator and printer of books, Piero Fornasetti was a visionary whose work transformed the decorative arts scene of the 20th century. Revered for his masterful application of two-dimensional art to three-dimensional form, he adapted his graphic illustrations to furniture, interiors, theatre sets, fashion, magazine covers and books, always deploying humour and poetry in the way he wrapped his artwork about the objects and spaces. When Piero passed away in 1988 his works numbered over 11.000. His son, Barnaba, took up the reins, ordered the archives and has successfully perpetuated his father’s vision into the 21st century. He has established new collaborations and licences, adding rugs, fashion, furniture and wallpaper to the portfolio. And recently, for the first time in the company’s history, a home fragrance collection – Fornasetti Profumi. The scented candles are presented in exquisite ceramics dressed in all the famous Fornasetti motifs.
