Isidoro Ultime Notizie | Drinks cabinet

A mythical object, evoking the golden world of Roaring Twenties, long steamer trips and parties at the Great Gatsby, the Isidoro trunk-drinks cabinet is the brainchild of the collaboration between Poltrona Frau and Fornasetti, another brand known worldwide for the design and decoration of unique and timeless furnishing accessories. The wooden trunk sums up all the characteristics of high craftsmanship and Italian creativity common to Fornasetti and Poltrona Frau. It is a wooden trunk covered in printed leather with one of the most characteristic patterns of the Fornasetti archive, the "Ultime Noitizie" decoration. Created in 1950 by Piero Fornasetti, his son Barnaba redesigned, changed and breathed fresh life into the "Ultime Notizie" pattern. A playful trompe-l'œil that beckons the viewer to an "active" and imaginative vision: leather looks like paper and the paper had been initially conceived to be printed on silk. The visual lightness of the print is also an invitation to conceptual lightness: “Don't dwell on the news, because the news is volatile".
