About the Item
Piero Fornasetti lived and worked in Milan from 1935 until his death in 1988. during this long career he established an enduring reputation as a designer with a style that was all his own - a style based on illusionism, architectural perspectives and a host of personal leitmotifs, such as the sun, playing cards and fishes, from which he spun seemingly endless variations.
Fornasetti applied his decorative vocabulary to an astonishing array of objects - hats, waistcoats, pipes, ashtrays, chairs, plates, cabinets, pianos, shops, racing cars, ocean liners: all were transformed by the application of unexpected images. 'He makes objects speak' said Gio Ponti, his friend and long-time collaborator.
Designers and collectors today celebrate his use of allusion, unsettling images and striking juxtaposition to create unique, whimsical objects. Fornasetti's masterpieces shock, delight and inspire. 600 Illustrations of which 116 are in colour. 285 pages. 1570 grams. Text: English. Paperback.
