Sommaire

If you have never programmed a weekend in the Eternal City, now is the time to discover the exhibition « Ci­ta­zio­ni Pra­tiche », showcasing the talent of Pie­ro For­na­set­ti, until the 6th of May 2018, and treat yourself to ceramic objects from his new collections. The decorator, who created a series of plates, inspiring himself from the lovely face of so­pra­no Li­na Ca­va­lie­ri, has now designed it in many shapes.

Printed ceramics, Made in Italy

The art of trompe-l'œil is the signature trait of this atypical artist, who pinpointed his genius idea while leafing through a French decoration magazine. Since, he affirmed his style by instilling a good dose of humour into a line of daily objects. These are manufactured with the greatest care, in delicate materials and with motifs that make reference to Surrealism.

Redecorating the house with a light touch

Glasses, candles, trays, tables, stools, crayon holders, mugs, busts, book-ends, bedside-table lamps, carpets, chairs, chests, closets, screens, perfumes, the Italian decorator features his muse on creations for the house that are both useful and decorative. An immediate must-have luxury !
