Cole And Son

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.

Created from an atmospheric etching of clouds, the subtle line work and delicate detail render Nuvole one of Fornasetti's most magnificent and beloved designs. With its billowing clouds rolling across a romantic sky, Cole & Son has updated this arresting study with a unique ombré, encompassing the colour and light of an ever-changing sky. Nuvole al Tramonto is available in two colourways, Dusk and Dawn. Whilst Dawn captures the first bright light of an early morning showing soft sage clouds rise into puffs of mint and duck-egg before diffusing into a hazy blue spring sky; Dusk captures the changeful evening sky where whirls of sunset pink clouds move through muted violet before diffusing into a summery soft blue.

Each roll of Nuvole al Tramonto contains four drops that form this enchanting skyscape, creating a total panel measuring 274cm wide and 300cm high. The panel can be used as a captivating feature across one wall or ceiling, or the design can be run side by side using multiple panels to create an immersive, bold interior.
Each panel can be trimmed from the top or bottom for the desired colour focus to suit any wall height.
