Italian design icon Gaetano Pesce dies at 84

12:55, April 4

Italian designer Gaetano Pesce has died, his studio announced.

“It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of the creative visionary Gaetano Pesce. For six decades, Gaetano revolutionized the worlds of art, design, architecture and the borderlands between these categories. His originality and courage cannot be compared with anyone.

Despite health problems, especially in the last year, Gaetano remained positive, playful and always inquisitive. He left behind children, family and everyone who adored him. His uniqueness, creativity and special message live on in his art.”

Pesce was born in La Spezia, Italy in 1939. He was born during the conflict. Just a few months before his birthday, Germany invaded Poland, marking the beginning of World War II.

He later embarked on a varied career, earning a degree in architecture from the University of Venice, and eventually earning a reputation as a creative polymath known for his experimental use of color, form and material, be it furniture design or residential building.

From 1958 to 1963, he worked in the design team Gruppo N. He quickly joined the radical design movement, joining a generation of Italian architects who rebelled against the functionalist nature of 20th-century modernism, which had become commonplace during a period of social and economic instability throughout the country.

In recent years, his work has attracted the attention of a much wider audience, despite the fact that some of his best-known works were created decades earlier. In particular, 2022 has been a strong year for the designer, from a new collaboration with Cassina to creating sets and furniture for Bottega Veneta's Spring/Summer 2023 show.

“My career is not monolithic, but fragmented,” Pesce had said of his multidisciplinary nature in an interview with Hypebeast last year.
