Chair N. 09/20 in Wood and Resin by Paola Navone

In the mid-90’s Gaetano Pesce pioneered the use of the resin to create design products. As an artist, craftsman and alchemist, he started to create unique objects pouring the resin into moulds and “letting the material to become objects”. In 1996 the Fish Design adventure begins. In 2003 Pesce meets Andrea Corsi and sharing the magic formula, he entrusted him to create a new range of products. Andrea started to reproduce "what seemed so easy to make when he was making it" and in no time he added his way of conceiving objects to Gaetano Pesce’s great intuition. He became an alchemist himself, changing the resin composition and working on its transparency; different approach from Pesce’s traditional opaque colours. The flowing and visionary shapes created by Fish Design for more than 20 years - the vases POMPITU, SPAGHETTI, MEDUSA, AMAZONIA, - from the hands of Gaetano Pesce before and Andrea Corsi later, have become a chapter of design history. In addition to the renovated vase collections, Andrea Corsi and his team of young artists/craftsmen created new ranges of products, “wearable” objects and collections in collaboration with design masters like Alessandro Mendini, Enzo Mari, Humberto and Fernando Campana. Unique collections such as Mendinismi, Lezione by Enzo Mari and Nativocampana show the different ways of thinking and shaping objects using the same material. Andrea Corsi’s adventure, based on Gaetano Pesce’s teachings, keeps developing, following its own creative path.
