Nine (Slightly) Weird and Wonderful Fornasetti Rugs

Just launched! So Italian, so luxe, so offbeat. Fornasetti designs are one of those classic 20th c things that are instantly recognizable, visually potent and send a message of "I'm a little edgy" without going over (too far) the top. We've seen the wallpaper, the china and plenty of vintage pieces before, but the rugs are new to us:

The rugs shown above are all available from Roubini Rugs:

Top photo, clockwise from top left: Serratura, Mano, Serpente, Bacio and Quattro Stagioni Black

Bottom photo, from left: Pavimento, Occhio Tondo, Cortile BW, Viso

What do you think? Bel tappeto?

I really love Fornasetti, but the smallest ashtray will (*sigh*) always be far beyond any budget I could ever have....

Just moved to the US from Europe and didn't realize how popular Fornasetti is here. I collect it (when I can afford to), and think these are beautiful.
