Piero Fornasetti (1913-1988) was an Italian painter, sculptor, decorator, and craftsman. Fornasetti lived most of his life in Milan. Fornasetti cultivated a highly original style throughout his career. He was a master craftsman who used ornamental and pictorial motifs to decorate silk scarves, furniture, plates, vessels, and similar objects. His work was clever, surreal and whimsical. His furnishings occupy a unique niche in the decorative arts: they are surreal and impactful and act as functional sculpture.
