Kommentar: Published to coincide with the exhibiton at the Victoria and Albert museum. “Piero Fornasetti lived and worked in Milan from 1935, when he was only 22, until his death in 1988. During this long career he established an enduring reputation as a designer with a style that was all his own – a style based on illusionism, architecural perspectives and a host of personal leitmotifs, such as the sun, playing-cards, fished and flowers, from which he spun seemingly endless variations.”
