Gaetano Pesce

Discover authentic vintage and collectible pieces by Gaetano Pesce (1939–2024), the visionary Italian architect and designer whose work blurred the boundaries between art, design, and social commentary. 

Trained in architecture at the University of Venice, Pesce emerged as a leading figure of Radical Design and later influenced the Memphis generation with his bold forms, experimental materials, and unapologetically expressive language.

This curated selection features iconic Pesce works prized by collectors and designers: from the groundbreaking UP series for B&B Italia (1969), including the anthropomorphic UP5_6 “La Mamma” chair with its ball‑and‑chain ottoman, to the sculptural Feltri armchair for Cassina (1987), Tramonto a New York sofa, and his vibrant Fish Design resin objects.

Celebrated for innovations in foam, felt, and polyester resin, Pesce’s pieces are held in major museums worldwide and remain powerful statements on freedom, femininity, and the poetics of mass production.
