Honoring the best and the brightest for their contributions to the field of interior design, the Interior Design Department at FIT/SUNY announced this year's honoree of the 2009 Lawrence Israel Prize, Gaetano Pesce.
Artist, architect, designer, filmmaker urban planner and teacher Mr. Pesce shapes our world with a unique and critical voice.
Well ensconced in any chronology of the profession, his work is cherished by every major design collection from MoMA to Tokyo.
Though his voice may be heard globally, few decipher its entire message.
Embraced and courted by such corporate giants as Cassina, B&B Italia, Steelcase and Vitra he shatters their norms of production with his innovative mind.
A pioneer in the use of resin, urethane and other modernist concoctions he's been able to mass-produce uniqueness.
By redefining a process of production a single design will spin into a hoard of gems as unique as an individual's fingerprint.
A recognized titan in the field of furniture design, his work has often voiced a political or cultural position.
