PIERO FORNASETTI : LA FOLIEPRATIQUE

LES ARTS DECORATIFS

107, rue de Rivoli
, 75001 Paris

To visit this retrospective is truly like stepping into the alternative world of Piero Fornasetti. However, his surreal and colourful world rarely extends beyondthe boundary of the domestic.

Fornasetti’sbeautifully bizarre, illustrated, story-telling designs take the form of everyday objects from spoons, keys, mirrors, boxes to tables and chairs. Walking from space to space, room to room within this extensive dedicated show at ‘Les Arts Decoratifs’ is a rediscovery of the much overlooked possibilities of the home.

His unique blend of humour, craftsmanship and beauty within the everyday has had a lasting legacy. His attention to detail, his perfectionism and vision to produce objects that transcend functionality and utility, is certainly something left wanting in our modern, mass-produced, Ikea-packaged world.

I certainly felt a renewed, childlike curiosity for the possibilities contained within each draw, underneath every table and behind each locked key. Certainly the beauty in Fornasetti’s objects is not purely skin-deep; many cupboards are left ajar for viewers to uncover even more curiousities within…

Piero Fornasetti envisioned a life full of curiosity, beauty and wonder, carried out in all he did. Immensely fun, kitsch and timeless… a must see show!

The exhibition runs until June 14th 2015

Entrance fee: Full €10, Concessions €8.50
