Fornasetti Wall Plate No. 154
$ 195.00
Editor's Notes
The enduring face of Lina Cavalleri is re-interpreted on this idiosyncratic Fornasetti wall plate. Originally designed by Piero Fornasetti, this superior ceramic is a true collector’s piece for any art and design enthusiast.
This wall plate is No. 154 of Fornasetti’s kaleidoscopic variations of the face of his muse, opera soprano Lina Cavalieri. Cavalieri’s face is covered by her protectively splayed hands, though her large eyes remain cool and impassive. Display this decorative plate in pride of place in your dining room or hallway, for a powerful and beguiling approach.

- Signature branding on the reverse

About Fornasetti
Fornasetti is a reliably mischievous player in Italy’s vibrant homeware and design scene. The brand grew out of artist Piero Fornasetti’s lifelong obsession with creating variations – about 500 of them – of the opera singer Lina Cavalieri’s face. He used this motif (alongside swords and suns, monkeys and butterflies, ancient architecture and sardine cans) to create his delightful designs, which adorn everything from Fornasetti plates to Fornasetti cushions and trays. Run by Piero’s son Barnaba, the design house is known for making high-quality work with a uniquely playful streak.
