One Man Show at Material Connection Invitation/Bracelet
This is a Invitation/Bracelet. It was designed by Gaetano Pesce. It is dated 1997 and we acquired it in 2016. Its medium is poured and imprinted colored polyurethane resin. It is a part of the Product Design and Decorative Arts department.
Industrial designer, Gaetano Pesce, has explored the use of resin for objects ranging from furniture to vessels. Pesce doesn't 'push' the material to follow his whim. Instead, he lets the flow of the resin determine the final form. The flexibility of this invitation/bracelet allows it to be wrapped around the wearer's wrist, to become a wearable memento of the event.
