Description

PIERO FORNASETTI (Italy, 1913 - 1988). Chair "Capitello Corinzio". Beech and betula wood, hand stamped and lacquered. Stamps on the base. Measurements: 95 x 41,5 x 45 cm. Particular design by Piero Fornasetti, always imaginative, who used to use classical elements (here, a Corinthian capital) to redefine his own parameters of postmodern design. Piero Fornasetti was a leading Italian designer, sculptor, painter, interior decorator and engraver. Trained at the Brera Academy in Milan, he was the author of thousands of objects, lighting and furniture pieces with one main decorative theme: the face of the 19th century soprano Lina Cavalieri. He was also known for his expressive use of black and white, as well as the sun motif and other climatological elements. Today his son, Barnaba Fornasetti, continues to create designs for the firm that bears his surname.
