FORNASETTI Theme & Variations

Nice accordion fold catalog brochure for Piero Fornasetti’s line of tableware. No date listed but most likely early 1980s.

Here’s a short description from Barney’s website: “Italian painter, sculptor, and engraver Piero Fornasetti was famously obsessed with the face of 19th-century operatic soprano Lina Cavalieri, featuring it in countless designs for his collection of tableware and home décor.” Apparently Piero’s son, Barnaba, still maintains the line today with his own interpretations.
