I'm having a real Fornasetti moment at present. I've loved his stuff for a long time, but couldn't really afford any of the original furniture, which quite frankly, you would probably need to take a mortgage out for these days! Liberty also stocks some of the furniture, but again this is a bit on the high side. Luckily some more affordable pieces are coming onto the market. I recently came across the official Fornasetti website, and it appears that his son has being keeping the legacy alive.
Fornasetti does have a lot of reoccurring themes and motifs in his work, but is probably most well known for his constant re-workings of the beautifully angelic face of opera singer Lina Cavelieri. I especially love the above sexy boudoir cushion!
Do check the website out, it is exquisite.
