Fornasetti Tema e Variazioni No. 375 Wall Plate Designed by Piero Fornasetti

Tema e Variazioni plate No. 375 features the face of Lina Cavalieri crossed by a gold thunderbolt, a detail that lends intensity and theatricality to the composition.

This porcelain plate, hand decorated with gold inserts, belongs to the Tema e Variazioni series, the set of reinterpretations that have made Piero Fornasetti's work famous. Each variation on Cavalieri's face introduces a new visual game, a language that oscillates between irony and poetry, giving rise to images that are always unexpected. The plate has two holes on the back that allow it to be easily hung, transforming it into a wall element capable of dialoguing with other pieces from the same collection. At the same time, it can be used as a table decoration, fitting into arrangements that combine design and creativity. The white surface of the porcelain, interrupted by the black of the face and the gold of the lightning bolt, creates a strong and immediate contrast that gives energy to the composition. Plate No. 375 encapsulates Fornasetti's inventiveness, Cavalieri's iconic strength and the desire to transform everyday elements into striking images charged with personality.
