Fornasetti, the Italian luxury design atelier, is inter nationally renowned for its decorated furniture and home accessories. Humour, nostalgia, metaphors and allusions define its fully-fledged visual language; dreamlike, colourful and full of irony. Each Fornasetti object is unique and entrusted with a character that lies between design and art, and artistic techniques and artisanal production methods give life to outstanding handmade design objects. Founded in Milan in the fifties, the Atelier is currently led by the visionary Barnaba Fornasetti, guardian of the legacy of his father Piero, the Italian artist and designer who is celebrated as one of the most creative and original talents of the 20th century. Conjuring a world of mystery and destiny, the celestial ‘Astronomici’ design was originally unveiled in the 1950’s as a collection of porcelain plates illustrating Piero Fornasetti’s distinctive yet playful re-imagining of the zodiac. Featuring suns, stars and moons, the iconic imagery shines bright in hand-applied gold and silver against a background of ivory or cobalt blue. Celebrating Fornasetti’s fascination with dreams and imaginings, the ‘Astronomici’ is guaranteed to fill your home with both scent and style.
