Italian Design - Gaetano Pesce

Since the 60's Gaetano Pesce has been at the forefront of creativity in Architecture and Design. He was one of the leaders of the Italian 'radical' group of the 1960's, when he experimented with new materials, such as polyurethane foam. He now continues to experiment with resin, material of our time. His production is unique and irreproducible as each object is different from the other making each one a genuine work of art.

Many of Pesce's works are part of permanent collections of major museums: the MOMA and the Metropolitan Museum in New York, The Musée des Arts Décoratifs and Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, the Museo D'Arte Moderna in Turin.
