Designer: Gaetano Pesce is an Italian architect who, in the early 1960s, rebelled against the industrial perfection of modernism by designing new furniture and objects whose form was both expressive and eccentric, more artistic than functional. Born in 1939 in La Spezia, Gaetano Pesce studied architecture in Venice and then explored innovative materials and technologies to create unique objects and buildings, never imagined before in order to differentiate themselves from mass production and that each work manufactured can be distinct. The Italian designer gives imperfection a new aesthetic value. If until now, the craftsman has been required to execute a model as close as possible to the drawing given by the creator, Gaetano Pesce takes the opposite view of this position. The craftsman appropriates the designer’s creation by interpreting it, just as the user appropriates a unique piece by choosing it among others of the same model. In 1975, then in 2002, the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris devoted two important exhibitions to Gaetano Pesce in collaboration with the Centre Beaubourg.
“Fish Design” collection: Fish Design was born in New York in 1995 from an idea by Gaetano Pesce. From colored and translucent resins, the artist created a collection of vases, trays, mirrors, baskets and jewelry that he personally created until 1999. Each year, the different models receive new colour combinations and are offered to collectors in numbered and dated series. These editions are recognizable by the Fish Design stamp independent of that of the artist and due to the manufacturing process, each piece is a unique original.
Guarantee of authenticity: Gaetano Pesce and Fish Design stamp. Stamp N° 02/2010. Original certificate of authenticity and invoice provided.
