Fornasetti Stool “Bocca” (mouth). Size: diameter cm 38 x 46h. Wood, printed, lacquered and painted by hand. From Milk Concept Boutique. milkconceptboutique.eu
To jazz things up, a bit of gold embellishment
always works a treat, and/ or go for a few red or pink colour pops for a glam edge.
If you only want to dip your toes in the trend
rather than dive in headfirst, then the addition of some Fornasetti cushions and fragrance candles will be a beautiful talking point in your home.
“Bold Surreal statements work very well with big airy rooms that have mostly white or cream walls and furniture”
Be inspired by an Artist theme: Salvador Dali’s
iconic lobster telephone and the Mae West lips sofa, plus the subconscious doodlings of Joan Miro are very visually arresting. I particularly love the imagery of Rene Magritte. Although Magritte was Belgian, there is something very British about the motifs and imagery in his work – bowler hats, pipes and Granny Smith apples!
And don’t forget in these difficult times that
Surrealism above all else is very witty and great fun - so just make sure that you enjoy yourself to the max and really explore your imagination and creative side!
