about the designer
Donald Judd was an American artist, whose rejection of both traditional painting and sculpture led him to a conception of art built upon the idea of the object as it exists in the environment. Judd's works belong to the Minimalist movement, whose goal was to rid art of the Abstract Expressionists' reliance on the self-referential trace of the painter in order to form pieces that were free from emotion. To accomplish this task, artists such as Judd created works comprising of single or repeated geometric forms produced from industrialized, machine-made materials that eschewed the artist's touch. Judd's geometric and modular creations have often been criticized for a seeming lack of content; it is this simplicity, however, that calls into question the nature of art and that posits Minimalist sculpture as an object of contemplation, one whose literal and insistent presence informs the process of beholding.

about the designer
Renowned architect, artist, and designer Gaetano Pesce has left an indelible mark in fields ranging from architecture to industrial design since his birth in La Spezia, Italy, in 1939. In the mid-90’s Gaetano Pesce pioneered the use of the resin as material to create design products and the Fish Design adventure began. Celebrated for his innovative use of resin in design, especially with his iconic Fish Design collections, Pesce's work is characterized by a blend of double functionality, vibrant color use, and material perfectionism. His influential pieces, a fixture in major museums worldwide, encapsulate a dynamic career spanning decades and continents, with a significant contribution to design history alongside collaborator Andrea Corsi since the early 2000s

about the designer
Nathalie Du Pasquier worked as a designer as part of the Memphis Group until 1987, producing patterns, textiles, decorated surfaces, and furniture. Since then, her main focus and passion has been painting. Over the past thirty-five years, Du Pasquier has been intrigued by the relationship between objects and the spaces in which they are installed. This ongoing investigation has manifested in paintings, sculptures, designs, patterns, constructions, carpets, books, and ceramics—constantly acting between the representational and non-representational, the tangible and intangible, reality and imagination, and two- and three-dimensional forms.
