The secret of his success consists in his ability of surprising his public with groundbreaking and revolutionary pieces of modern art, that make his creations unique and inimitable.

Since the beginning of his career, he has given a proof of his astonishing, odd and eccentric spirit. In all his work, he expresses his guiding principle: that modernism is less a style than a method for interpreting the present and hinting at the future in which individuality is preserved and celebrated.

Pesce’s work is featured in over 30 permanent collections of the most important museums in the world, such as MoMa of New York and San Francisco, Metropolitan Museum in New York, Vitra Museum in Germany, Victoria and Albert Museum in London, Pompidou Center and Musee des Arts Décoratifs of Louvre in Paris; he exhibits art in galleries world wide.

Boundaries between art, design and industry are irrelevant to him, as to him art is most certainly not something created and put on a pedestal: art is a product, it is our creative response to the needs of the time we live in, and it’s a motto that inspires all design aficionados every day.
