Piero Fornasetti (1913-1988) Decorated screen Milan, Italy, late 20th century Hinged bi-fold panels of decorated laminate finish with books and accessories on one side and faux wood paneling with hung objects of art on the other, unmarked, ht. 53 3/8, wd. 55 1/2 in. In Piero Fornasetti's atelier each piece is executed by hand, as a designer and visionary, he was interested in the transition of one medium to another, such as newspaper print used to decorate plates. His work appears to be bits of history, memories, new ideas all used to decorate a variety of medium. This characterized his design style and makes his work easy to identify. Fornasetti's decorative arts were offered through fine department stores and shops throughout the world.
