Fornasetti is a luxury artistic design company founded in 1940 in Milan by Piero Fornasetti, now run by the founder's son, Barnaba Fornasetti, which is known internationally for the creation of porcelain and handmade decorative objects for the home. The origins of the company lie in the activity of the art printworks that Piero Fornasetti opened in Milan in the 1930s. The "Stamperia d'Arte Fornasetti" enjoyed some success in the Milanese cultural scene; as Raffaele Carrieri wrote in Epoca in 1978: "He was the first to print lithographs of De Chirico in Milan, some considerable time ago". A crucial moment for the foundation of the company was the meeting between Piero Fornasetti and Gio Ponti, in the 1940s, which led to the opening of the Atelier Fornasetti. One of the first successes of the company, and its collaboration with Ponti, was the Architettura trumeau, which was then exhibited at the IX Milan Triennale in 1951, and is now included in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
