About this title

Synopsis:

Piero Fornasetti 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. 'He makes objects speak' said Gio Ponti, his friend and longtime 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.

Review:

[A book] we are fortunate to have back in print.

[A book] we are fortunate to have back in print. "

By ignoring the winds of fashion, Fornasetti often presaged it and eventually outlasted it. . . . He invented a world that was simply too enchanting to be real.

In an age of sleek, unadorned Modernism, Fornasetti ran counter to and took joyous delight in decorating anything and everything.
