For today’s ‘Glass Gems,’ we want to know... would this cabinet find a place in YOUR home? 🦋✨💎 This corner cabinet with reverse-painted glass doors (made in 1941) is a prototype for Fontana d’Arte, the Italian luxury brand, and was designed by founder Gio Ponti. The doors were painted by Italian artist Piero Fornasetti—talk about an iconic collaboration! The “farfalle” (butterflies) decoration is a motif that Fornasetti regularly employed. The crazy part... the cabinet was never put into production. 🤯 But you can view this gorgeous piece in our Modern Gallery in 35 Centuries of Glass at the Museum! 92.3.74 #modernart #moderndesign #1940sfashion #italianart #fornasetti #glassart #glassgems #corningmuseumofglass
