Piero Fornasetti는 변덕스러움과 우아함을 결합하여 컵, 스카프, 스크린과 같은일상 속의 물건들을 손, 여성의 얼굴, 물고기 등의 특이한
모양의 작품으로 만든다. 또한 그는 Andrea Doria의 장식을 비롯하여 이상적인 건축 그림, 책 디자인, 도발적인 누드 등을 작품으로 탄생
시켰다. 이 책은 Fornasetti의 출판되지 않은 2,800 점의 삽화를 담고 있으며, Fornasetti가 추구하는 자신만의 디자인에 대한 접근을 충
실하게 반영하고 있다. Fornasetti의 작품은 그림, 조각 및 애칭, 가구, 그래픽, 섬유 유리, 스크린, 쟁반 및 도자기뿐만 아니라 더 작은 것들
도 포함하고 있다.
This elaborate volume, authored by the designer’s son, is a splendid celebration of one of the world’s most inventive design
minds. Combining whimsy and elegance, Piero Fornasetti (1913–1988) transformed everyday objects like cups, scarves,
and screens into works of art featuring his idiosyncratic leitmotifs, such as the hand, the female face, and luminescent fish.
Additionally, he created a wide range of works, including idealized architectural fantasy drawings, book designs, and
provocative nudes, as well as the decor for the luxury liner Andrea Doria. Perhaps most famous for dazzling pieces of
trompe l’oeil furniture, Fornasetti was rediscovered in the 1980s and has remained much sought-after by collectors
worldwide. Featuring 2,800 illustrations, many never before published, the monograph is designed to be an "artist’s book"
that reflects as faithfully as possible Fornasetti’s own approach to design. Fornasetti’s work is organized by type and
includes paintings, sculptures and etchings, furniture, graphics, textiles, glass, screens, trays, and ceramics, as well as
smaller categories. With unique and exhaustive access to the archives, this epic undertaking covers detailed technical,
biographical, and bibliographical information, including a list of exhibitions and a register of the complete works. A musthave
for collectors and connoisseurs alike.
