Fornasetti Lina Cavalieri Porcelain Wall Plate
The Fornasetti Plate Tema e Variazioni n.206 belongs to the iconic Tema e Variazioni series, one of the most recognized bodies of work in contemporary Italian decorative design, centered on the endless reinterpretation of Lina Cavalieri’s face.
This variation presents Lina Cavalieri within a pendant-like medallion composition held by a classical female bust, creating a surreal dialogue between sculpture, ornament, and portraiture. The design transforms traditional neoclassical imagery into a layered visual narrative, where the medallion becomes the focal point of the composition.
Rendered in the signature black-and-white palette of the collection, the plate emphasizes contrast and graphic precision, highlighting the sculptural quality of the bust and the iconic presence of Lina Cavalieri’s portrait within the medallion.
Part of the celebrated Tema e Variazioni series, often referred to as the “Lina Cavalieri plates”, the Fornasetti Plate Tema e Variazioni n.206 contributes to one of the most collected and recognizable visual languages in Italian design and decorative art.
Crafted in porcelain and designed for wall display, it functions as both a collectible design object and a decorative wall plate, ideal for curated interiors, gallery walls, and refined living spaces.
The plate is fitted with two holes on the reverse for wall hanging. It should be installed securely. To preserve its surface, clean only with a soft dry cloth and avoid abrasive materials or harsh detergents.
