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
Sophie Lou Jacobsen is a French-American designer currently based in New York City. She established her studio in 2019, with an initial focus on objects of everyday use, mostly using glass as a medium and exploring the interaction between object and user. Her work stems from the idea that objects have an innate power to enhance their user's mood through form and function. She focuses on simple objects and rituals, to see how she can alter these in ways that are surprising, delightful, and elevate the user experience. She believes that the objects which we surround ourselves with can and should be imbued with a certain poetry, creating a relationship between humans and objects built on mutual respect.
