Fornasetti turns Piero Fornasetti’s imagery, especially Lina Cavalieri’s face, into Milanese surrealism for the home. Tema e Variazioni plates and candles are central to the range, with decoration carried out in Milan.
Best for Tema e Variazioni plates.
Fornasetti unveiled a redesigned Milan store during Milan Design Week in April 2026. It stays on the Corso Venezia premises, with a new entrance at Via Senato 2. The first floor is arranged as a living archive. Pieces sit in vitrines and cabinets, so one motif can be followed through its variations. The floor above is laid out as an apartment of four furnished rooms, where the same objects are placed in use. Look at a plate or cushion in the archive first, then see how it sits in a room before choosing.

Coreterno — Italian for 'eternal heart' — is a lifestyle brand conceived in Rome and formally launched in New York in 2015 by Francilla Ronchi and Michelangelo Brancato. Its aesthetic draws on a self-described 'mysterious world' of rebellious artists, poets and engravers, reworking nineteenth-century portraits, antique seventeenth-century engravings, and archetypal rock-and-pop symbols into vintage-styled black-and-white product labels. The brand's candle range spans distinct collections: Visionary Candles, made with organic wax and labeled with short phrases about moods and states of mind, and the Aphrodite Scented Candles line, framed around themes of love. Coreterno states that all its fragrances are vegan and cruelty-free, produced in Italy using a mix of vegetable and mineral waxes, and markets its products around a stated intent to carry messages of strength through visual and olfactory design rather than function alone. Beyond candles, the brand also produces fragrances and jewelry sold through its own site and stockists including department stores such as David Jones and specialty perfumeries.
Founded by three siblings on Piazza San Donato, this maker produces natural fragrances, soaps, candles and cosmetics inspired by Civita, including lines built on donkey milk and botanical extracts. Its products are made in Italy and sold from a boutique on the village square as well as online.
