Fornasetti

Occhi Mug Grey

Fornasetti, the iconic Italian design house founded by Piero Fornasetti, is celebrated for its surreal, imaginative, and boundary-breaking aesthetic. Fornasetti began as the creative vision of Piero—an accomplished painter, sculptor, decorator, and craftsman whose work merged clever wit with timeless elegance. Deeply influenced by Greek and Roman architecture, surrealism, and metaphysical art, Piero Fornasetti developed a visual language that remains instantly recognizable.One of Fornasetti’s most legendary signatures is the face of opera singer Lina Cavalieri, reinterpreted across hundreds of poetic, whimsical motifs. After Piero’s passing in 1988, his son Barnaba Fornasetti continued the family legacy, staying true to his father’s belief that his creative “eye traveled across time rather than being anchored in any specific era.” Today, Fornasetti’s original artwork lives on through exquisitely crafted accessories and home creations, including scarves, ties, wallpaper, home fragrances, and decorative packaging—each piece a continuation of the brand’s eccentric and visionary spirit.
