Milan:
FF 2013 – Fornasetti. To celebrate the centenary of the birth of
Piero Fornasetti, Piero’s son, Barnaba, introduced some iconic pieces of
furniture from the Fornasetti archives and added to these, with one of his
reinventions, a contemporary vision that embellishes Fornasetti’s vast and
eclectic world; the undisputed star the “Architettura” trumeau, the best known
piece of Fornasetti-produced furniture: an original fifties piece, alongside a
recent re-edition to highlight the similarities and differences. A rare and
interesting encounter, given that Piero produced less than forty pieces, some
of which are now to be found in the world’s greatest museums.
