Footnotes

  • The vendor commissioned the table (base only) directly from the Fornasetti Atelier in Milan. It is not a model in production. The top was subsequently added the current owner.

    A similar model (with a different shaped top) is illustrated in Fornasetti: Designer of Dreams, Patrick Mauries, Thames and Hudson, London, 1991, p. 105.

Saleroom notices

  • Please note the date of design is 1980, not the 1930s as stated online and in the catalogue.
