Fornasetti Burlesque Scented
Candle

Born in 1913, Artist,
Poet and all-round
Designer; Piero
Fornasetti, transformed
the decorative arts scene
in the 20th century.
Revered for his masterful
application of
two-dimensional art to
three-dimensional form,
he adapted drawings to
objects, furniture,
interiors, fashion and
books, deploying humour
and poetry in the way he
wrapped illustrations
about the objects and
spaces. Fornasetti saw
himself simply as a
decorative artist,
albeit one with a
boundless imagination for
the application of his
art. Design
collaborations were
natural to him; he worked
with architects and
designers on interiors as
varied as the Arlecchino
cinema and the Andrea
Doria Trans-Atlantic
Liner. He passed away at
the age of 75, leaving
behind a catalogue of
works numbering over 11,
000 to his son, Barnaba,
who preserved the
Fornasetti tradition.With
his business head and
creative heart, Barnaba
has successfully kept the
family name alive. While
remaining faithful to his
father's vision, he
shows skill in deft
reinterpretation of his
father's motifs, which
he applies with precision
and humour to existing
objects in the portfolio
and some he designed
himself, providing a
creative continuum to
satisfy the company's
many collectors. Barnaba
has also pursed new
collaborations and
licenses, recently
developing a collection
with architect Nigel
Coates. Other licenses
include rugs,
wallpapers, ceramic
vases, and no, a home
fragrance collection. To
capture the essence of
Fornasetti, Barnaba
turned to master perfumer
Olivier Polge at the
International Flavours
and Fragrances (IFF).
Together he and Barnaba
explored the aromas of
the Fornasetti home and
its gardens, registering
significant herbs and the
woods of the interior and
Fornasetti-designed
objects. Thyme and
lavender came to occupy
the top tier of notes,
orris and cedarwood the
middle, and ethereal
notes in the base,
including insense, tolu
balsam, and labdanum,
were used to represent
the dream-like dimension
of Fornasetti's graphic
poetry. The resulting
scent, Otto, the eighth
variation to be
developed, is the
olfactory portrait of a
brand that is timeless,
and that transcends
gender and fashions. The
development of the
ceramic containers that
accommodate the fragrance
in all its forms was
handed to Ceramiche Dal
Pra, a company based in
Nove, Vicenze - the
traditional heartland of
the Italian ceramics
industry. Dal Pra created
simple elegant containers
for Fornasetti, and
Barnaba adapted a mix of
classic and lesser-known
motifs from the archives
to the surfaces, with a
requisite touch of
whimsy.
