This work has been designed and created by Piero Fornasetti  (Milan, 1913 - 1988). Fornasetti  was an Italian  eclectic designer , characterised by an unstoppable creative flair that made him one of the most prolific figures of the XXI Century. This piece has been realized in between the 1950s and the 1960s. 

In 1952 Piero Fornasetti began work on what would later become his most famous and iconic series: "Tema e Variazioni". Starting from the portrait of a woman, he began a pictorial quest that was to accompany him throughout his life.  In 2016, the first 100 illustrations from the series were collected in a completely handmade, prestigious, limited edition volume.  Piero Fornasetti continued unceasingly in his process of artistic reflection. 1958 saw the creation of "Stanza metafisica". 

Piero succeeded in shaping the conceptual side of his approach, inaugurating in the Seventies the space that offered him a way of giving continuity to his work with other instruments.
