Desks by Fornasetti

For­nasetti

The desk designs are based on orig­i­nal pieces designed by Gio Ponti, dur­ing the 1950s, and they are pro­duced in the Milanese Fornasetti’s Atelier.

The For­nasetti Ate­lier in Milan is an out­post of care­ful and accom­plished craft pro­duc­tion. Here skilled crafts­men and women use the same rig­or­ous hand­crafted tech­niques as were employed on the very first For­nasetti prod­ucts. Colour is applied by hand and the orig­i­nal paper pat­terns are still fol­lowed. Main­tain­ing the qual­ity of these meth­ods of mak­ing is an impor­tant aspect of the For­nasetti legacy.

The major­ity of the fur­ni­ture and objects pro­duced in the Ate­lier are true re-editions of the orig­i­nal designs cre­ated by Piero For­nasetti. Objects referred to as ‘Re-inventions’, are designs cre­ated by Barn­aba For­nasetti using the dec­o­ra­tive ele­ments and imagery found in the immense For­nasetti archive and are evo­lu­tions of the exclu­sive pro­duc­tion of his father.

All the prod­ucts are avail­able in other col­ors and sizes. Prices on demand.
