Four legs? Nine legs? Gaetano Pesce never cared much for convention.

The 543 Broadway collection embodies Pesce’s radical approach to design. For him, instability was never a flaw but a reflection of life itself. Through his pioneering use of resin, a material prized for its unpredictability and expressive potential, Pesce embraced variation, irregularity, and the unexpected. The result is furniture that feels alive: playful, provocative, and defiantly unique.

Mirror, Mirror plays by its own rules. A perfect oval suspended in silver, pulling your eye exactly where it wants it. Samantha McCurdy turns shape into something hypnotic here: minimal, precise, and just self-aware enough to wink back at you.
