Calendar Plate 2021


The tradition of the Calendar Plate dates back to the 1940s, when Piero #fornasetti and Gio Ponti dreamed up the Annuari, twelve tables bound into a calendar booklet and sent as a Christmas gift to friends and devoted customers. Years later, in 1968, #fornasetti brought the idea back to life and since then has created the decorations for this series of collectible plates, all limited editions, each one bearing a different greeting. 

With the 2021 Calendar Plate, #fornasetti would like to spread a message relating to the rediscovery of time lived at one's own pace, slow and unhurried, and invites each of us to enjoy that which surrounds us, with a new gaze and a new awareness. This is a subject that has always been dear to #fornasetti, championing a notion of #design based on making time for that artisanal savoir-faire which, by its very nature, places people at the centre of the creative process. Let slowness be the guiding value for this new year, a value that will let us rediscover a more human rhythm, just as the iconic turtle seems to suggest.
