ARTISTIC DESIGN
Fornasetti furniture exists in a state of harmony between art and design. Dreams take the shape of furniture and surfaces become canvases on which to depict parallel worlds. The decoration is superimposed on the form and the form inspires the decoration, in a continuous interplay that challenges conventions and creates space for artistic flair. Thus surprising visual atmospheres are born, perspectives are reversed, proportions recede and the eye ends up being seduced.

“It is said that I make my items using secret methods. I laugh up my sleeve”.
Piero Fornasetti
DECORS
THE ARCHITETTURA DECORS
Architectural imagery occupies a central place in the Fornasetti world. A love of the classical, the rigour of the forms and the interplay between fiction and reality have always represented essential values for the Atelier.
The Architettura trumeau is the best known symbol of the collaboration between Fornasetti and Ponti.
It was first presented at the 1951 Triennale di Milano.
