Vase in soft resin designed by Gaetano Pesce in 1995 for Fish Design collection.

The collaboration between Gaetano Pesce’s studio in Brooklyn, New York, and artisan Andrea Corsi’s Via Malpighi lab in Milan, would launch Fish Design to the world in 2003. An important chapter in the catalogue of the late and great Gaetano Pesce: designer, architect, artist and master provocateur, who once described the pieces of pure, artistic abandon, as adding warmth, good humour and affection to the spaces that host our lives.
It was 2003 when Gaetano Pesce and Andrea Corsi began working together. The collaboration between Pesce’s studio in Brooklyn, New York, and Corsi’s Via Malpighi lab in Milan, would launch Fish Design to the world.
With a linguistic nod to Pesce’s Italian namesake, Fish Design first appeared back in 1995 its material experiments in resin emerging from the designer's Brooklyn practice. Like all of Pesce’s work, collections celebrate the flaws of life by embracing beauty, joy, texture, sensuality, colour and innovation with pure, artistic abandon. 'Fish Design is not satisfied with uniformity, with the superficiality of traditional design objects, their fatigue, abstraction and globalism…’ Pesce remarked during its launch at the Salone del Mobile in 2003. ‘Fish Design’s goal is to offer more warmth, good humour and more affection for the spaces that host our lives.’
From the Spaghetti and Amazonia Vase to the Babel Bucket, the handmade, highly collectable range now lives on in the hands of artisan Andrea Corsi. It is an important chapter in the catalogue of the late and great Gaetano Pesce: designer, architect, artist and master provocateur, who once described his work as ‘the liquidity of our time,’ its evocative shapes, colours and materials a visceral mash-up of art, design and industry.
