Gaetano Pesce

Gaetano Pesce was born in La Spezia in 1939 and graduated from Architecture of Venice, he achieved a prominent position in numerous fields – architecture, interior design, graphic design. He has carried out numerous projects, such as: the Hubin house in Paris, the organic building in Osaka, the mourmans gallery in Knokke-le zoute, Belgium. But also important are the Schumann residence in New York and the glass elements of the Palais des beaux arts in Lille. His fame as an architect is also due to his experimentation in the field of industrial design and furnishings which led to the development and creation of armchairs, such as the up series, tables and lamps. For a long time he has been entertaining relationships with important companies such as B&B italia Italia, Cassina and Vitra international. He also gave birth to the New York companies Fish design and open Sky for the development and production of objects, lighting elements and jewellery. Gaetano Pesce's works are exhibited in the permanent collections of some of the most important museums in the world: the museum of modern art and the metropolitan museum of art in New York, the museum of modern art in San Francisco, the Victoria and Albert museum in London , the musée des arts décoratifs and the center Geoges Pompidou in Paris and the musée des arts décoratifs and the center canadien d'architecture in Montréal. In 1996 a major retrospective of his work was held in Paris at the center Geoges Pompidou.
