The Great Barnaba Fornasetti Ironic, mysterious, immaginative. Thanks to him and his legacy today we can view a spectacular 100 Years of La Maison Fornasetti. Founded by his father Piero Fornasetti born on 10th November 1913 La Triennale of Milan presents a long due homage to one of the National Treasures for Milan and Italy FORNASETTI not a spoiled brand, nor a commercial trend but a long lasting love affair with design that is so trasversal and unique.
Must see the whimsy video curated by Tony Meneguzzo

The Fornasetti Universe is a Magical
place in design that embrace you
regardless of your race, your age, your gender
you are sucked into this crazy world made
of Turkish waiters, lazy cats, mythological figures,
cards, pipes, eyes and the iconic
Lina Cavalieri face
