An important monograph on the designer Fornasetti, published to coincide with the exhibition Fornasetti: Designer of Dreams at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. The book examines Fornasetti's life and work and explores his use of witty surface decoration and trompe l'oeil to create furniture, objects and spaces that are instantly recognisable today. His designs are well illustrated and sit alongside texts by Patrick Mauriès and Ettore Sottsass, and an interview given by Fornasetti in 1987. The desirable hardback edition.
