The art of imperfection

They are displayed with two photos showing Salvador Dali, the Spanish surrealist artist, and fashion designer Pierre Cardin among those admiring the chairs. Meanwhile, a 5.5-meter-high installation version of Up 5-6 is installed in the square outside the museum.

Pesce's designs are not only functional and practical, but are also a statement of a human situation. He expresses in the Up chairs his gratitude to the women in his life, such as his mother and sisters, as well as his concerns with the status of females, hoping they will be free from prejudice and suppression.

Some critics, however, suggest that the design reinforces the stereotypical image of women being subject to domestic chores. Pesce has responded: "That was good for meto see that the object was open to different interpretations."

At the exhibition, people can also see the famous Nobody's Perfect series of chairs, which was first created in 2002. The colorful handmade resin chairs, among which no two are identical and each has its flaws, demonstrate Pesce's concept of embracing diversity, non-repetition and imperfection, and his opposition to the standardization of mass production.
