The story

Superb coffee table signed by Piero Fornasetti, dating from the 1960s, from the renowned Architettura series created in collaboration with Gio Ponti. Its structured form and graphic lines highlight the balance and elegance characteristic of mid-20th-century Italian design, enhanced by Fornasetti’s meticulous silkscreen decoration. Fully restored, it retains a beautiful patina on the feet while presenting an impeccable appearance and is ready for use. This coffee table, documented and sought after on the international market, is a rare and decorative piece, ideal for any contemporary interior or design collection.

Piero Fornasetti (1913–1988) was an Italian designer and decorator, renowned for his poetic and graphic style. Born in Milan, he trained in architecture while developing a passion for drawing and the decorative arts. In the 1930s, he founded his workshop and created furniture and objects adorned with original motifs, including the famous Lina Cavalieri faces. His work combines imagination and artisanal skill, transforming each object into a work of art. In the 1950s, he collaborated with architect Gio Ponti on the renowned Architettura series, where his graphic and architectural motifs were paired with modern furniture forms. His creations from the 1950s and 1960s embody mid-20th-century Italian design, combining a unique identity with decorative elegance.

About Piero Fornasetti

Piero Fornasetti (1913-1988) was a Milanese painter, printer and designer. From the 1950s he applied lithographic and transfer-printed decoration to furniture, ceramics and objects, often in collaboration with Gio Ponti. His vocabulary of architectural perspectives, suns and the face of Lina Cavalieri in the Tema e Variazioni series gives his work a surreal wit. Collectors seek vintage pieces from his own workshop, identified by their labels and marks.
