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.
