Can't get enough of these face prints at Barneys.
The Fornasetti line consist of pillows, trays, vases, rugs and even umbrellas, with Piero Fornasetti's iconic face design, mostly in black and white.
Fornasetti made more than 500 variations on a face of a woman, most of them featuring operatic soprano Lina Cavalieri as a motif that eventually become his trademark.
I find Lina Cavalieri's face and especially her eyes haunting. I wonder how it feels to have a face-pillow staring at you every day from your couch... mmm....?
Those are super cool!
ReplyDeleteThose are cool! I bet it would be a little odd to have eyes watching you whenever you enter a room. Then again, it would be odder if it was your own face.
ReplyDeletewow, i think the idea is cool, but i'd be weirded out when i was changing or something. or can you imagine making out on the couch and out of the corner of your eye, you see her face staring at you? super strange :)
