Fish Design is a project by Gaetano Pesce, an architect-artist-designer who has undertaken diverse commissions in architecture, urban planning, interior and exhibition design, industrial design and publishing. Born in La Spezia, Italy, in 1939, Gaetano Pesce was trained at the University of Venice Faculty of Architecture. He has been living in New York City since 1980. His multidisciplinary work that encompasses art making and performance has been the subject of numerous publications and exhibitions and is currently displayed in the permanent collections of museums in Europe and in the U.S.A. Pesce’s work is characterized by the "diversified series", the double functionality of objects and architecture, the creative use of colors, the political dimension of his projects, the theory and practice of the "poorly made", provocation, the use and improvement of synthetic materials, the theory of "femininity" in the architectural projects and, lastly, the culture of the object.
