Gaetano Pesce
“Touch Wood,” a Revolutionary Project between Wood and Design.
Gaetano Pesce, an internationally renowned Italian artist and designer, is known for his ability to experiment with innovative materials and techniques, creating works that challenge the conventions of traditional design. His production ranges fromarchitecture to interior design, with a focus on the contamination between materials and novel forms.
Throughout his career, Pesce has explored the relationship between matter and function, resulting in iconic designs characterized by unique aesthetics and strong expressive power.
The “Touch Wood” Project – Material Contaminations for New Perspectives.
“Touch Wood” is a project that stems from the desire to overcome the traditional limits of wood, transforming it into an unprecedented surface through innovative material contaminations. Berti Pavimenti collaborated with Gaetano Pesce to shape this revolutionary vision, working with:
✔ Wood and colored resin: the encounter between the naturalness of wood and the vibrancy of resin has generated surfaces with a strong visual impact.
✔ Marble and leather inserts: noble materials combined with parquet to create an unprecedented synergy between tradition and the avant-garde.
✔ Unexpected patterns and geometries: color plays and artistic compositions that transform the floor into a work of art.
The goal of the project is to reinvent wood, experimenting with new expressive possibilities for applications in interior design and architecture.
The Exhibition and Display – A Unique Sensory Experience
The “Touch Wood” project was presented at an immersive exhibition, where the public could interact with the transformed wooden surfaces, exploring the new boundaries of the material.
The meticulously designed layout created a multi-sensory experience through the use of lights, reflections and transparencies that emphasized the uniqueness of each element.
