Set of 11 Fornasetti Plates featuring Astrolabs
“Fornasetti dealt with classical themes, but super-modernized them, making them witty, making them whimsical. These plates are a perfect example of that. I myself have a collection of Fornasetti plates hanging in my kitchen. They’re all beautiful, they’re all different, and they are objects of great beauty.”
