Fornasetti

Fornasetti is an Italian decorative arts atelier founded by the artist Piero Fornasetti in Milan in the 1940s. Internationally recognized for its unique furniture and home accessories, Fornasetti is a place where art meets design, giving life to timeless creations that spark the imagination. A Fornasetti piece is not just an object to own but an experience to live and be inspired by.

In the Milan atelier, every object is still made using traditional Italian craftsmanship, from screen-printing to hand-painting. Skilled artisans follow the slow and meticulous processes of artistic creation, ensuring that each piece remains unique. This dedication to savoir-faire preserves Fornasetti’s heritage while keeping its designs relevant and timeless.

One of the atelier’s most iconic works is the "Tema e Variazioni" series, inspired by the face of opera singer Lina Cavalieri. With over 400 variations, this collection reflects Fornasetti’s surreal and whimsical aesthetic, making it a symbol of imaginative design.

Today, under the creative direction of Barnaba Fornasetti, son of Piero, the atelier continues to evolve while remaining faithful to its artistic roots. Each creation tells a story, transforming everyday objects into extraordinary works of art that celebrate beauty, creativity, and craftsmanship.
