Piero fornasetti

Piero Fornasetti (1913-1988) was a painter, interior decorator, sculptor, and engraver from Italy. Out of the 11,000 items he created, over 500 of them consist of the face of one single woman; drawn up from a wood carving of the very famous Italian operatic soprano Lina Cavalieri.

About a century ago, Italian designer Renzo Frau thought up the Vanity Fair armchair—a joyfully plump design that would come to define his namesake brand, Poltrona Frau (and would later appear on this magazine’s very first cover, in 1989). In the 1940s, Milanese artist Piero Fornasetti founded his eponymous label, producing black-and-white illustrations that are still prized in home decor. Now, for the first time, these two legacies have merged, resulting in a limited-edition Vanity Fair
