Cole & Son Fornasetti "Procuratie e Scimmie" Architectural Monkey Silk Down Throw Pillow featuring one of the most recognizable designs from the celebrated collaboration between Cole & Son and Italian visionary Piero Fornasetti. Adapted from Fornasetti's imaginative decorative vocabulary, the pattern depicts the monumental arcades and classical façades of Venice's Procuratie buildings, where a solitary golden monkey is perched among the balustrades. The juxtaposition of grand Renaissance architecture with an unexpected primate is quintessentially Fornasetti—transforming historical imagery into a surreal and playful narrative.

Printed on luxurious silk and finished with a plush down insert, the pillow is rendered in a restrained palette of parchment, ivory, charcoal, sepia, and warm golden tones. The finely detailed architectural engraving creates remarkable depth, while the centrally positioned monkey provides a striking focal point. The composition reflects Fornasetti's fascination with illusion, classical proportion, and visual wit, making it equally compelling in traditional, Hollywood Regency, eclectic, or contemporary interiors.

Originally conceived as a wallpaper design, Procuratie e Scimmie has become one of the most admired patterns in the Cole & Son Fornasetti collection and remains highly sought after by collectors and interior designers alike.
