about the designer :: Fantoni, Marcello

Marcello Fantoni studied under Carlo Guerrini and the sculptor, Bruno Innocenti. He opened his own studio in the 1930’s where he started to build his reputation for creating whimsical forms with very artistic, often fantastical, decorations. His works are included in the collections of MOMA (NY, Tokyo), MFA (Boston) and the V & A (London).
