543 Broadway Dining Set
Gaetano Pesce
The mystifying ‘543 Broadway’ dining set by Gaetano Pesce featuring a clash of colorful epoxy resin with stainless steel structures and rubber spring feet. In Gaetano’s words:
“The springs on the feet are to give a sense of insecurity, there is insecurity in our reality, we see it in violence, there is economic insecurity, there is insecurity in our health... when you sit you do not feel secure that is like the reality of life.” (Gaetano Pesce)
