Breaking images is something all great creators have in common.***<\/em><\/h1>\n

Today’s motto<\/a> is fully inspired by a teapot. A teapot, you may repeat? Yes, I really mean that. So how can a single teapot influence you in a way?<\/p>\n

It greets me every morning, while I enter the kitchen, it’s the spot-on eye-catcher, even before anything else attracts my attention. It sits on a glass shelf and although it has strongly coloured neighbours, it plays the star role. The lovely lady* featured on the pot always twinkles at me and makes me smile, although she does that now for a long time – almost 20 years. But her eyes still work as an open door through which one is, somewhat magical, immediately sucked.<\/p>\n

That is maybe one part of the secret formula\u00a0every object, created by the legendary milanese artist Piero Fornasetti<\/a> has. It’s the mix of surreal motif, irony, graphic form, optical illusion which in essence creates a special dimension one doubtlessly can call poetry. Needless to say, that I am a big admirer of his work.<\/p>\n

That little object transfers the whole kitchen shelf into something different. Maybe, I dare to say, even the whole kitchen. And suddenly I realized there is a parallel to what some of my favourite Interior Design\u00a0Heros<\/a>\u00a0do. Breaking images with objects is something which creates tension in a room and makes it a bit more special – and of course everybody can do that.<\/p>\n

So, it crossed my mind, why not play more around with it – maybe I tape some feathers on my walls, paint a chair in a fancy color or put a quirky object on the table, whatever, the next thing to do is: breaking a rule in (my) home decoration.**<\/p>\n

*the lovely lady on the teapot was Fornasetti’s long-time muse called Lina Cavalieri<\/em>, he found her image in an old french magazine, she was an opera singer living in the Belle Epoche.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

**if you would like to join me, would be so much delighted to hear from you<\/em>…<\/em><\/p>\n
