Did you guys see the Barnaba Fornasetti house tour in the last issue of Elle Decor? My, my! (Click the key words above to jump to the article!)
Though the Fornasetti brand has been active for many decades, it remains such a fresh, current, exciting postmodern force that never tires. Likely this is due to the astute handling of the company legacy by Barnaba Fornasetti, whose family estate recently appeared in the pages of Elle Decor! Did you love it as much as I did?
A few more interior shots from the spread are below:
These shots really appeal to my excitement about total pattern-on-pattern. Excess, surface activity, overall MAXIMALISM! Yet since the palette is neutral and gradient, it doesn’t appear confusing or frenetic. Really, a singular vision and look (that I love!). For me, it’s not overwhelming. What do you guys think?

When I was in New York last December, I scored some awesome vintage Fornasetti note cards! (In this case, vintage is 1994!) Yesss.
You can add some Fornasetti to your spaghetti with the Cole and Son Fornasetti wallpaper collection! I love the Malachite, Ex Libris, and Il Sole in particular. We can get it for you!
Viva Fornasetti! I cannot wait to collect more!
