TBWA/Chiat/Day Locker Door Wall Relief ("Roller Cane") by Gaetano Pesce

A roller and cane appear side by side on this sculpted panel by Gaetano Pesce, bringing themes of care, mobility, and aging into the workplace setting. The forms are simple yet symbolic, prompting empathy through design.

These sculptural panels were locker doors for employees at TBWA/Chiat/Day’s New York office in 1994. With no assigned desks or offices, employees stored their belongings in these vibrant, acrylic painted lockers—each one entirely unique. The panels embodied Gaetano Pesce’s belief in diversity and imperfection, turning everyday storage into a bold statement of individuality within a fluid, paperless workplace.
