The furniture designer who says comfort isn’t king
Gaetano PESCE is a furniture artist who is found somewhere beyond modernism. Pesce’s trademark is as a Trickster – with a smirk about to burst. In the 1970s, when the world was all matte black and chrome, as standardised as Le Corbusier and his ilk wished it, Italian-born Pesce began making furniture and objects of a delirious gloopiness – all polychromatic ooze and inherently inimitable. His practise has been global, his innovations consistently ground breaking. Boundaries between art, design and industry are irrelevant to him, as- art is most certainly not something created and put on a pedestal. http://www.gaetanopesce.com/

ICHIO USUI - Japanese Artist transforming food into characters
A silent Voice “Don’t treat food poorly” or “leaving food uneaten is wasteful”. These words were spoken to the artist as a child. Japan like other countries has dreadful food waste issues. The artist lent an ear to hear the voices of the lives of foods that were sacrificed because they were uneaten or past a use by date – or because they were not the right colour or shape This project places a toy eye on this waste to transform them into characters- in an effort to visualise the lives that vanish in the process of discarded food. https://ichio-usui.com
