Fornasetti @ Milano Design Week 2021


Busts of Roman statues, architectural motifs, Greek keys and ancient meanders embellish the new furniture, accessories and porcelain that #fornasetti will present during Milan #design Week 2021, evoking a visual universe that mixes the various eras and whose inspiration knows no creative boundaries.

Fornasetti brings together past and present, creating a dialogue between different historical periods, comparing canons and sediments, confounding and transforming its furniture in a journey through time. Its perspective and aesthetics remain rigorous and transformative, its objects able to reshape any space.

The dialogue between ancient and contemporary has involved #fornasetti on several fronts in recent years, from the area of cultural initiatives - with the exhibitions hosted at the Museo Nazionale Romano Palazzo Altemps and at the Complesso Monumentale della Pilotta in Parma, where imagery and products of the Atelier dialogue with the works and architecture of the museums - to the recent collaboration with Louis Vuitton, which saw #fornasetti decorations inspired by the classical world applied to contemporary clothing and accessories.

Today this quest is extended to a new group of objects from the Atelier, capable of evoking boundless worlds of imagination and illuminating the rooms of any home with eternal beauty.


The new collection consists of a curved cabinet, one of the most popular pieces of #fornasetti furniture thanks to its elegant, rounded lines, a classic console and two others in the new taller form, with two decorative variants, as well as a raised cabinet and a stool. Each item of furniture is made of wood and produced, decorated and finished entirely by hand.

The furnishing accessories also include #fornasetti trays, available both in a rectangular wooden version, and a round metal version. Colour choices vary alternating black and white, illuminated by the presence of gold, to vibrant shades hand painted by the Atelier's artisans.

Completing the collection are accessories made in precious porcelain and decorated by hand, embellished by decorations in gold.


The production process for every one of the Atelier's creations is faithfully bound to age-old artisanal techniques, based on the importance of making by hand and "slow working", which ensure the quality and uniqueness of each object.
