Modified from a Gio Ponti designed form, "Architettura" is one of Fornasetti's finest pieces. The overall patterning and perspective plays create a total architectural environment. The interior spaces of the cabinet continue the motif. This early example is one of about 20 examples produced in the 1950s and 60s.
