Silk-screen printing is a printing technique invented in France in the 1910s. In the Atelier, this method of impressing decorations onto surfaces has always been done by hand. And it's the source of the black graphic lines that are Fornasetti's distinctive feature.

Furniture and accessories are all handmade in Italy, one by one. The Atelier has always been a place where manual skills meet artistic expression, a forge where high craftsmanship is at the service of thought.

Now as always, Fornasetti's creations are hand-painted by the Atelier's painters, who apply colour meticulously following the original period sketches.

The production of artistic porcelain began with the first plates created in 1947. Entirely decorated and painted by hand through the application of silk-screen motifs, then baked in a kiln for several hours.

The decoration transferred to the surface is left to dry for a few months before receiving numerous layers of lacquer: this process seals the decoration, giving the piece of furniture its characteristic lustre and pleasant feel.

A century after his birth, the Triennale di Milano dedicates a retrospective to Piero Fornasetti, exploring the artist's work in a wide-ranging way, from graphic art to design objects, from paintings to interior decoration.

An exhibition at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris that recounts 50 years of Piero Fornasetti's art and im-agination: on display are the first paintings, the visionary projects created with Gio Ponti, the prints, and the most iconic creations.

Fornasetti presents The Rake Punished or Don Giovanni in its original version, bringing in a team of outstand-ing artists. The opera is staged at the Triennale di Milano and at the Teatro della Pergola in Florence.

The spaces of Palazzo Altemps interact with 27 artistic incursions created using over 800 Fornasetti creations. Practical quotes. Fornasetti at Palazzo Altemps creates an unsettling dialogue between the classical and the Atelier's creative flair.

The first exhibition in Sweden, which encompasses Piero Fornasetti's entire output, from paintings to draw-ings, from graphic art to furniture, from design objects to installations, right up to the contemporary works of his son Barnaba.

Fornasetti collaborates with the English artist Anj Smith, who engages creatively with some of the Atelier's iconic pieces. The collection is presented for the first time, on the occasion of MiArt, at the Poldi Pezzoli Mu-seum in Milan.

A bold challenge, almost a provocation: at the invitation of Barnaba Fornasetti, the artist Carlo Dell'Acqua manipulates, smashes up and then recreates the female face portrayed on the porcelain plates of the Tema e Variazioni series, giving them a new life.

With the aim of building a space that is always open to the imagination, Fornasetti sets up a non-profit asso-ciation to launch projects and initiatives of an artistic nature. Its first initiatives include the poetry events Pa-role Urbane.

The dialogue between the architecture and artworks of the Complesso Monumentale della Pilotta in Parma and the imagination of Fornasetti creates a true "theatre of the world": a network of iconographic references and cultural suggestions to inspire new interpretations.
