Fornasetti used shells to cover the walls of his Lake Como villa dining room , as a mid-century interpretation of a sixteenth-century grotto . The room also featured a delicate shell ceiling lamp made by Giulia , Piero ’ s wife .
This motif can be seen across many of the atelier ’ s pieces from headscarves and vases to trays , mirrors , and tables ; Fornasetti inspiration knows no creative bounds .
Forming a geometric repeat of shell-laden boxes and diamonds , Conchiglie is full of exquisite detail , providing new inspiration every time the design is viewed .
