GAETANO PESCE (b. 1939)

CROSBY CHILD'S CHAIR

POURED RESIN

1998

This is the chair that I drew at the museum - a really fun piece of design. I  love the colours and materials used to create the feel of 'throw away design' out of something so familiar to us - the chair. Garden design can often become very precious about the idea that it is going to be there for a long time - I like the idea of turning this idea on its head..
