{"product_id":"cole-and-son-frutto-proibito","title":"Cole \u0026 Son | Frutto Proibito","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrutto Proibito assembles several Fornasetti motifs from the 1940s and 50s into one composition. The monkeys were first drawn as decorative wooden panels for Dulciora, a Milanese patisserie; here they have been lifted out and set among the sprawling branches of a pomegranate tree, reaching for the fruit. The reach is never completed, which is the joke the title makes and the reason the composition stays in motion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat is characteristic is the mixture of registers. The pomegranates and foliage are rendered as fine etchings, cross-hatched and tonal and almost scientific in their precision, while the grounds are laid in as flat, saturated blocks of colour. The two do not resolve into a single illusion and are not meant to. The eye moves between the drawn detail and the printed field, which is exactly the tension Piero Fornasetti spent a career building. Warm light suits the flat grounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a paper for a room that is looked at rather than lived in for long stretches: a dining room, a cloakroom, a hall, a small library. Hung on every wall it becomes an environment; on one wall it becomes a picture, and either reading works. Keep the furniture plain and the lighting warm.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cole \u0026 Son","offers":[{"title":"Sage \u0026 Magenta on Ink","offer_id":57800260682110,"sku":"114\/1001","price":228.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Print Room Blue \u0026 Lemon","offer_id":57800260714878,"sku":"114\/1002","price":228.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hyacinth \u0026 Orange on White","offer_id":57800260747646,"sku":"114\/1003","price":228.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Print Room Blue \u0026 Magenta on Metallic Gold","offer_id":57800260780414,"sku":"114\/25049","price":228.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Sage \u0026 Magenta on Ink","offer_id":57800260813182,"sku":"SAMPLE-114\/1001","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Print Room Blue \u0026 Lemon","offer_id":57800260845950,"sku":"SAMPLE-114\/1002","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Hyacinth \u0026 Orange on White","offer_id":57800260878718,"sku":"SAMPLE-114\/1003","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Print Room Blue \u0026 Magenta on Metallic Gold","offer_id":57800260911486,"sku":"SAMPLE-114\/25049","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/9880\/0766\/files\/FruttoProibito_Image_Flatshot_Item_114-1001.jpg?v=1785945784","url":"https:\/\/shop.tobiasoliverinteriors.com\/products\/cole-and-son-frutto-proibito","provider":"Tobias Oliver","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
