This is a rare set of porcelain coasters designed by Piero Fornasetti and produced in the 1970s, expressly commissioned by Banca Unione of Milan. Known for his imaginative graphic language and refined Italian craftsmanship, Fornasetti transformed everyday objects into works of art, blending classical imagery with surrealist wit.
This set reflects that philosophy, each coaster serving as both a functional object and a collectible example of mid-century Italian design. Commissioned pieces such as these highlight Fornasetti’s close relationships with cultural and commercial institutions in Milan during the height of his creative influence.
This set still retains its original packaging, pictured alongside the set.
