The inspiration of this print is ‘ Sole di Capri ’ a design created by Piero Fornasetti in the 50s . Piero Fornasetti long had a passion for Capri and created this iconic design from his imagination , before ever having visited the legendary island . Piero eventually took the family there on holiday and , during the 1960s , also opened a temporary Fornasetti boutique on the island . The original print is a combination of personified suns and stylized architecture , both typical of Fornasetti . The idea of pairing personified suns and clouds appears for the first time in a sketch for a headscarf that Piero drew in 1950 . It is now a whimsical all-over print , bringing a unique quirk to an interior .

Soli e Nuvole
British hand-crafted artistry meets Italian wit and imagination in the latest volume of the enduring partnership between the design house of Cole & Son and Fornasetti , the Italian atelier recognised for design and decoration .
The collector ’ s curiosities are again transformed into distinguished wallcoverings . Fruits of nature in all their glorious forms take a flight of fancy into interior decor . Studies of nature from selections of shells to lush foliage , curious creatures , and the sky come together making the everyday spectacular
Artisans from both houses create a unique magic with endless creativity and a truly timeless aesthetic ; every design is effortlessly Senza Tempo .
Monkeys appear throughout the Milanese Atelier ’ s work and are available emerging from the dense foliage of Chiavi Segrete . The playful composition of flora and fauna is quintessential Fornasetti , with the delicate organic study juxtaposed by the hiding primates . Available in subtle tones of old olive , as well as rich autumnal and verdant green palettes , Foglie e scimmie is natural progression of many of the Atelier ’ s prolific themes .
