The legendary designer Gaetano Pesce opens up on his latest project with BottegaVeneta, which debuted at Milan Design Week.
at Design Miami earlier this year. “Matthieu, he is delightful,” Pesce said in at his hotel the day after the installation launched last week, sipping an espresso and wearing a spiffy Issey Miyake pleated waistcoat. “He’s a very intelligent person, and has a very open mind.”
Blazy—who grew up in Paris with an art-specialist father and a historian mother and spent much of his youth kicking around auction houses—had been a long-time fan of Pesce’s work, which is characterized by his use of viscous, unconventional materials , eye-popping colors, and forms so wonky as to feel almost psychedelic.
“I’ve always been trying to do something innovative, since I was 21 years old,” says Pesce, describing the process of creating the chairs. The individuality of the chairs, meanwhile—underneath their translucent boiled-candy surface, each contained its own unique mix of swirling, prismatic color—speaks to Pesce’s broader ambitions as a designer, reflecting his interest in celebrating the individual.
The story Pesce hoped to tell with “Vieni a Vedere” has its roots in an exhibition he produced at thelast year. Taking his cues from the undulating landscapes and dramatic snow-capped peaks of Colorado, he began sketching ideas for a bag that would pay homage to the natural world that surrounded him while working on the exhibition.
