Mandarin Oriental, Milan is offering design lovers a chance to dive deep into the world of internationally recognised Italian artist Piero Fornasetti.

From the hotel’s one-of-a-kind Fornasetti Suite to the sophisticated private dining room Saletta Duomo, guests can discover this multifaceted collaboration between two points of reference of Milanese lifestyle.

Dine & Design

An exclusive Dine & Design offer was crafted for guests wishing to live a truly immersive experience in the mesmerising world of the Milanese artist. The offer includes a stay in the unique Fornasetti Suite, and a delicious seven-course menu crafted by executive chef Antonio Guida, served in the privacy of the Saletta Duomo at the hotel’s two Michelin-starred restaurant, Seta.

A generous breakfast offered in the elegant suite, or in the vibrant Mandarin Garden, completes the package, as well as a VIP welcome in the spectacular Fornasetti Store, located only a 10-minute walk from the Hotel.  This true cabinet of curiosities allows guests to get lost in a world of imagination, creativity and exceptional craftsmanship. This offer is valid year-round and is subject to availability.

The Fornasetti suite

The unique gem of the Fornasetti suite sits on the hotel’s second floor, known as the ‘noble’ floor. Beautifully appointed with original Fornasetti pieces, it measures 100sqm and is divided into a living area, a bedroom, a master bathroom, and a separate guest bathroom. Reflecting the highest levels of Milanese creativity, the suite is an expression of Milanese style and a tribute to a great Italian Master, Piero Fornasetti.

The focus of the living area is a pillar, adorned with wallpaper aptly named ‘Riflesso’ (reflection), produced by Cole & Son. It acts as a divide between the ‘Ultime Notizie’ table and its ‘Capitello’ chairs in the dining area, the ‘Fly’ coffee table, the ‘Guscio’ sofa, and the ‘Boss’ black leather armchair.

The trumeau ‘Architettura’ and a chest of drawers named ‘Palladiana’ complete the furnishings of the lounge area. The green walls are adorned with mirrors by Fornasetti white ‘Nuvolette’ wallpaper covers the ceiling and is reflected in the curtains.

Passing through the corridor with its ‘Architettura’ console table, guests reach the king-size bedroom, fully dressed with ‘Chiavi Segrete’ wallpaper. The room is furnished with a writing desk, a small table from the ‘Farfalle’ collection, and two large interfacing mirrors, combining for a stay which is an immersion between imagination and exceptional comfort.

Dining at Saletta Duomo

The intimate Saletta Duomo is a private space inside the two Michelin-starred restaurant, Seta, in the heart of the hotel. The name refers to the fascinating Duomo Sommerso (Submerged Cathedral) panel, positioned at the centre of the right-hand wall and inspired by a 1951 drawing by Piero Fornasetti, in which the symbol of Milan becomes a dreamlike underwater image, with fish of various shapes and colours swimming around it.

In celebration of the Saletta Duomo, executive chef Antonio Guida devised a seven-course menu that pays homage to the world of the Atelier, featuring historic dishes and new recipes such as the Risotto Fornasetti. This graphic creation featuring cuttlefish ink with a shellfish and turmeric sauce is an open tribute to Barnaba Fornasetti, the guardian of his father’s legacy who guides the brand with corageous and unconventional choices, shepherding it towards the international renown and vitality it enjoys today.

CaraLina – A Fornasetti cocktail

CaraLina is the signature drink overtly inspired by Line Cavalieri, Fornasetti’s muse. Served in an elegant glass from the “Tema e Variazioni” series, the cocktail is a twist on the classic Negroni: Campari, Mezcal, a bitter note of Ancho Reyes, a spicy touch of Cocchi Barolo Chinato, and captivating Chocolate Bitter all featured in this signature created by Mandarin Garden’s talented mixology team. Finished with a disk of chocolate on top of the glass and a touch of smoke, this drink unveils a surprise, the elegant glass features the face of the opera singer, Lina Cavalieri, at the bottom. It is available exclusively at Mandarin Garen for EUR 25 (around AUD 40).
