This is in no small part because Fornasetti designed a seemingly infinite number of everyday objects for the home, both big and small, sporting playful motifs and patterns that spoke of individuality and modernity. Some of the best expressions of his mischievous approach are his trompe l\u2019oeil umbrella stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Produced from the 1950s to the 1970s, these clever household items presented an ideal foundation for creative experimentation. Fornasetti designed 40 unique trompe l\u2019oeil <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/piero-fornasetti\/furniture\/more-furniture-collectibles\/racks-stands\/umbrella-stands\/\">umbrella stands<\/a>, suited to different personalities, interests and even intellectual pursuits. For the traveler, there were piles of leather suitcases; for the scholar, groups of vases and busts from classical antiquity; and for the artistically inclined, medleys of instruments as well as sketchbooks and palettes. But perhaps most charming were the 12 designs dedicated to man\u2019s best friend: the dog. Fornasetti created versions in the form of canines distinct in both looks and personality, including the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/more-furniture-collectibles\/racks-stands\/umbrella-stands\/pastore-tedesco-alsatian-dog-umbrella-stand-piero-fornasetti-c1950\/id-f_8817833\/\">Alsatian<\/a>, the Labrador and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/more-furniture-collectibles\/racks-stands\/umbrella-stands\/piero-fornasetti-boxer-umbrella-stand\/id-f_36565982\/\">boxer<\/a>.

It is easy to read a touch of Fornasetti&#8217;s trademark mischief in the design, with the trompe l\u2019oeil dog acting as both a companion and quite literal stand-in for its owner, through a playful nod to the anthropomorphic qualities of the hound and the lifestyle shared with its human.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In pop culture, the Afghan hound is almost always presented as a she with understated elegance, a quiet sense of self and an aristocratic lineage. Her trademark quality is her long glamorous hair, impeccably groomed unless she\u2019s had damsel-in-distress moment \u2014 or been caught in the rain.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/more-furniture-collectibles\/racks-stands\/umbrella-stands\/levriero-afgano-afghan-hound-dog-umbrella-stand-piero-fornasetti-italy-c1955\/id-f_41145452\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"526\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/unnamed-18.jpg\" alt=\"Fornasetti sits among works including his Afghan hound umbrella stand \" class=\"wp-image-431567\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/unnamed-18.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/unnamed-18-319x350.jpg 319w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/unnamed-18-110x120.jpg 110w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Fornasetti sits among works including his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/more-furniture-collectibles\/racks-stands\/umbrella-stands\/levriero-afgano-afghan-hound-dog-umbrella-stand-piero-fornasetti-italy-c1955\/id-f_41145452\/\">Afghan hound umbrella stand<\/a> in this undated photo featured in <em>Fornasetti: The Complete Universe<\/em> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/dealers\/rizzoli\/\">Rizzoli<\/a>).<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Of all of Piero&#8217;s dog designs, the Afghan hound (Levriero Afgano) remains my favorite,&#8221; Moreton says. &#8220;I just love the detailing on the long hair and the over-size gold chain. I think he must have also loved this one too, as there\u2019s a wonderful picture of him sitting at the entrance to his studio in Milan with an identical umbrella stand taking center stage in the foreground.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s something so intangibly special about this beautiful and chic hound sitting faithfully near her owner. Quietly reserved but somehow quite animated, she sits eagerly anticipating the arrival of companions who will undoubtedly be delighted to greet her. It is this effortless sense of joy that makes Fornasetti\u2019s designs so wonderful.
