Fornasetti

Vortice Hand-Painted Porcelain Centrepiece

$800

The beauty of Fornasetti is that no style or movement is beyond its reach – over the years, the house has dabbled in everything from Surrealism to Baroque. This porcelain centrepiece, inspired by the marine world, portrays a shoal of fish encircling a fossil of a shell. It’s hand-painted, silk-screened and lacquered by hand.

Fornasetti

The Milanese design atelier renowned for the design and decoration of timeless pieces was founded in the 1940s by Piero Fornasetti, a multi-disciplinary artist who created over 13,000 objects in his lifetime. Barnaba, his son continues the design legacy which defies categorisation: Fornasetti is at once imaginative, ironic and sophisticated.

The result is a marriage of inspiration and functionality which is expressed in every day objects such as porcelain, accessories and furniture. Every piece is handmade in limited annual editions.
