Piero Fornasetti Red Coat Rack 1955
-
Description
The company's origins start from the art print shop Piero Fornasetti opened in the 1930s in Milan. The "Stamperia d'Arte Fornasetti" enjoyed some success in Milan's cultural milieu; Raffaele Carrieri in 1978 wrote in Epoca, "He was the first to print lithographs of De Chirico in Milan in a rather remote time."
A key moment in the founding of the company was the meeting between Piero Fornasetti and Gio Ponti in the 1940s, which led to the opening of Atelier Fornasetti.
Here we have a particular Coat Rack in red lacquered wrought iron and central knob in printed glass, designed by Piero Fornasetti in the 1955.
Fully original and in very good condition. -
