Piero Fornasetti is often described as a visionary. A Milan artist, Fornasetti was at the same time a painter, sculptor, designer, craftsman, and an engraver of art books. In his lifetime, he created more than 11,000 items, most of which are one-of-a kind. It is actually said that his production of objects and furniture is one of the largest in the 20th century. Perpetuating the workshop tradition today is his son Barnaba, who has revived his most popular pieces and created new ones. In an illustrated Mémoire devoted to Piero Fornasetti¹s work, the book critically discusses his contribution to 20th century art and design.

such a small book!,

This review is from: Piero Fornasetti: A Conversation between Philippe Starck and Barnaba Fornasetti (Memoire) (Hardcover)
This book, yet interesting is so small and short! Better go for the expensive one by Patrick Mauries edited by the Victoria and albert Museum. That one with it's rising price is well worth the money and up to this day is the most complete available book on fornasetti.

This review is from: Piero Fornasetti: A Conversation between Philippe Starck and Barnaba Fornasetti (Memoire) (Hardcover)
The interview was a disappointment...not much insight, but many small photo examples of Fornasetti's work.

This book shows all the highlights and things I didn't know Fornasetti designed. Lots of photos of him. And the Phillipe Starch interview is great!
