Live Barnaba Fornasetti interview and showroom tour | Virtual Design Festival | Dezeen

Watch a live interview and showroom tour with Fornasetti founder Barnaba Fornasetti as part of VDF's collaboration with the Italian homeware design brand. Fornasetti, whose father Piero Fornasetti founded the eponymous homeware label in the 1950s, spoke to Dezeen's editor-in-chief Marcus Fairs as he walked through the showroom. The new space, which overlooks Via Senato in the heart of Milan, has been named Fornasetti su Misura, meaning 'Fornasetti made to measure', in order to reflect the brand's history of bespoke design. Fornasetti Du Misura's expansive showroom houses one-off historical pieces alongside its latest collection, Unusual Living Rooms. The new furniture range is divided into five capsule collections displayed in different living room configurations that are set against backdrops of bold, contrasting colours. Each proposed arrangement comprises angular sofas, tables, benches and accessories emblazoned with optical illusion-like patterns and floral fabrics.
