Many of Fornasetti’s collections are uncovered from two small handwritten notebooks of unpublished drawings that once belonged to the founder, Piero. The Gatto con Libri waste paper basket is one such example, inspired by nature and faraway travels. Its realism is attributed to the meticulous craft tale, as it’s painted, silk-screened and lacquered entirely 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.
