Cole And Son

Frutto Proibito gloriously combines different archival Fornasetti motifs from the 1940s and 50s. Mischievous monkeys, originally conceptualised as striking wooden panels for the Milanese patisserie, Dulciora, sit amongst sprawling pomegranate tree branches.

The playful composition of flora and fauna is quintessentially Fornasetti, mixing lifelike etchings with decadent, bold prints.

Leaves, fronds and flowers form a lush and peaceful labyrinth within Hoopoe Leaves canopy; a closer glance revealing nature's bustling wonder. What appear to be blossoms are, in fact, the feathery crowns of exotic Hoopoe birds hiding in the foliage alongside wildly embellished beetles and a wide-eyed praying mantis. Every leaf, feather and insect wing is lovingly adorned with intricate patterns evoking Zulu beadwork.

Created in a rich range of colours including sharp spring greens and lush olive tones, balanced with warm pinks, corals, sunny yellows and hints of soft blue, with the ground hues evoking an inky night sky or a dusty savanna afternoon.

Khulu, meaning ‘most important’, is particularly apt for this grand design featuring classical vases entwined with leopards, parrots, lions and other African animals. This fabulous watercoloured motif pays tribute to these modern day collectable vessels which can be found in galleries and private collections around the world.

Printed to an impressive 68.5cm repeat, the design is offered in various colourways including soft pinks and oranges on pale cream, a host of China blues on ivory, vivid greens and charcoal on ivory and finally a dramatic petrol and emerald on midnight blue.

Created as a complement to Hummingbirds Flora, Flora depicts the bursting bouquets of honeysuckle to which the birds flock. Completely hand-drawn and hand-painted, this delicate floral trail is bursting with nectar waiting to be discovered.

A study of hummingbirds in flight, Hummingbirds Flora depicts these diminutive birds as they flit from flower to flower collecting nectar. Perched upon branches they are surrounded by lush honeysuckle flora and butterflies, adding a whimsy to this panel scene.

Sold as a 2.1m panel, this captivating design can be used in isolation for a cascading feature or repeated for an immersive botanical interior.

Total Mural - 210cm Wide and 4 metres High.

Stemming from the original ‘Ortensie’ design, Barnaba Fornasetti created a dense bouquet of petals with bees that at first covered a scarf and furniture of the Atelier. This bounteous floral print is full of life, drawing you into the garden and filling your thoughts with the sweet smells and sounds of summer. Soft pastels are reminiscent of organic Ortensia hues, whilst a simple monochrome accentuates the delicately detailed linework of this expansive design.

Depicting a wonderfully exuberant tree of life, inspired by the Palace of Fontainebleau outside Paris, Fontainebleau comprises leafy stems upon which a flock of exotic and colourful birds perch.

This striking design is presented in colourways of rose pinks on duck egg and fuchsia and emerald greens on a neutral ground.

Beautifully exotic and lush, Woodvale Orchard is a reimagined design from the Cole & Son archive, the original block print of which is still housed there today.

Plumose parrots sit amongst a flourishing canopy of leaves and sun-ripened grapes, surface printed to ensure the traditional print mark-making textures are retained in this modern day reproduction.

Hues of Hyacinth, Lilac & China Blue on Ochre are full of summer sunshine, whilst the deep grounds of Violet, Purple & Forest on Ink; and Ruby, Rose & Olive Green on Charcoal, create an opulent interior, as does the classically elegant Rose, Hyacinth & Forest on Parchment.

Midsummer Bloom depicts abundant summer flowers in full bloom. This blousy print was found in the Cole & Son archive and re-painted by the Design Studio to create a rich and lavish trailing floral.

Moody colourings of Burnt Orange, Rose & Petrol on Ink; and Mulberry, Purple & Teal on Ink give Midsummer Bloom a contemporary update whilst Chartreuse, Rouge & Leaf Green on Parchment; and Hyacinth Blues on Chalk offer a more classically chintzy floral arrangement.

Uccelli, meaning birds, originated as luxurious folding screens depicting vibrantly coloured birds of all species adorning sparse branches. Since translated to a beautifully intricate wallcovering panel design, this delicate motif brings an ornate quality to a stand-alone feature wall or, used in repeat, creates a stunning aviary rich in detail and colour.

Each roll of Uccelli contains two drops creating a full decorative panel measuring 104cm wide by 240cm high. The design features an extra 40cm of ground colour above the trellis so that it can be trimmed from the top to perfectly fit the wall it adorns.
