Gaetano Pesce: The Complete Incoherence

Gaetano Pesce: The Complete Incoherence explores the creative philosophy of Gaetano Pesce through nine guiding principles that shaped his work over six decades. Introduced by Glenn Adamson, the book traces Pesce's evolution as a designer, architect, and artist whose ideas overlapped and evolved much like the layered resins that became a hallmark of his practice. Born in Italy in 1939 and influenced by both modernism and Venetian glassmaking traditions, Pesce became known for his radical approach to design, pioneering use of resin, and belief in individuality over standardization. Featuring iconic works such as the Up series, Sunset in New York sofa, and I Feltri chair, the publication celebrates a career that continually challenged convention and secured Pesce's place as one of the most influential and unconventional designers of the twentieth century.
