Fornasetti Forever  xoxo

I know that when I think of Fornasetti, I picture the iconic surreal face plates, pillows and other decorative items…

I’ll sheepishly admit that I had no idea of the range of his work- nor much about the man behind the iconic design, Piero Fornasetti, who was a painter, sculptor, interior designer and creator/designer of over 11,000 items.

Some vintage Fornasetti pieces for sale…
