During this long career he established an enduring reputation as a designer with a style that was distinctly his ownâ a style based on illusion, architectural perspectives, and a host of personal leitmotifs, such as the sun, playing cards, fish, and flowers, from which he spun seemingly endless variations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFornasetti applied his decorative vocabulary to an astonishing array of objectsâ hats, vests, pipes, ashtrays, chairs, plates, cabinets, pianos, ocean linersâ and transformed them by the application of unexpected images.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eToday his work seems more contemporary and is more popular than ever. Designers and collectors celebrate his use of allusion, unsettling images, and striking juxtaposition to create unique, whimsical objects. Fornasettiâ s masterpieces continue to shock, delight, and inspire. 116 color and 484 black-and-white photographs and illustrations, ISBN13:9780821218723 ISBN10:0821218727 Material Type:hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Used Book Depot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46345114222755,"sku":"B7.29.6 F_07-15-25_PHR_H0000Q5L","price":292.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0607\/9227\/5107\/files\/918y2o4y_-L.jpg?v=1760006207","url":"https:\/\/usedbookdepot.com\/products\/fornasetti-designer-of-dreams","provider":"Used Book Depot","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
