THROUGH THE CLOUDS Designed by Barnaba Fornasetti SPECIFICATION BIOGRAPHY Founded in the Fifties in Milan, Fornasetti is a company internationally recognised for the design and decoration of finely crafted pieces of furniture.The artistic director Barnaba Fornasetti, born in Milan in 1950, is the only child of Piero Fornasetti. In 1988, after his father’s death, he took over the family business that he still guides today. Throughout the years, he has faithfully built on his paternal legacy.
CONCEPT “Through the Clouds”, designed by iconic Italian decorative Atelier Fornasetti for WonderGlass, takes inspiration from a daydream. Delicate glass clouds float above the viewer, suggesting a different point of view. Obelisks protrude from the clouds, a nod to the ancient Egyptians who worshipped the obelisk as a symbol of ‘Ra’ the sun god, creator and giver of all life. Produced by hand, “Through the Clouds” blends printed and lacquered metal with blown glass; the whimsical design and fine nature of the work awakening the love of glass that has been embedded within the Fornasetti DNA since the 1940s, demonstrating both Fornasetti and WonderGlass’ artisanal approach and dedication to craftsmanship. 750 750 900 900
