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

This locker door by Gaetano Pesce features an umbrella sculpted across the surface, its arched handle and canopy rendered with a light hand. The object feels both practical and poetic, a small gesture of shelter in a shared space.

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.
