THEMES AND INSPIRATIONS

ORIGINAL SIN

Fornasetti is a scientist of the imagination, rigorously studying reality and transforming it with his characteristic black stroke and a wise dose of madness. In his creative encyclopaedia he rewrites medieval bestiaries and herbariums, pulling together different mythologies, suggestions and archetypes. And so the Peccato Originale design was born: the coils of the snake creep into a forest of foliage, rewriting the Garden of Eden’s fate on furnishing accessories such as trays, paper baskets, cushions and the iconic Fornasetti curved cabinet.

Fornasetti furnishing accessories are pages of an illustrated book with a timeless charm, a journey on the border between imagination and reality.

The Serpente trays join the Peccato Original series. The background hand-sponging technique confirms the tradition of high-quality craftsmanship.
