Greene street chair by Gaetano Pesce

Gaetano Pesce

Vitra

Greene street

Famous and very rare chair designed by Gaetano pesce for Vitra, Italy 1984.

Gaetano Pesce was of a generation of Italian architects who in the early 1960s rebelled against the industrial perfection of modernism by conceiving new furniture and objects that were at once expressive and eccentric in form; or you might say they were more like art than functionalist design.

This chair was called after the street where Pesce started his company in New York, Greene street.
Although this chair is from the first production, the resin is still shining and there are no cracks at all in this piece.
Every Greene street chair is different due to the red stripe placed differently on each chair, the examples with armrests are even more rare then the ones without !
This chair is not for regular usage, but just a work of art.
