SENZAFINE Seat

For Meritalia®, the quest for new languages and the development of new techniques are continuous processes, whose directions intertwine and overlap endlessly. Endless is also the will to progress, to invent the future and adapt it to new tastes, desires, lifestyles.

Gaetano Pesce pays homage to Meritalia®'s approach and calls Senzafine – Italian for Endless, of course! – a series of unique seats. Each piece in the series originates from the continuous extrusion of a polyurethane cord entangled onto itself, in expressionist and unique volumes, forming soft loops and organic shapes, giving life to unique seats.

The artistic flair of craft meets the precision of design: geometric moulds tame the filaments and transform them into a solid monolith, a durable, versatile seat suitable for both outdoor and indoor use, and never the same.

Senzafine is available in various saturated and bright colours, which well express Meritalia®’s pop–modern and non–coherent identity.

A sophisticated evolution of a project started in 1996, the series manifests Pesce and Meritalia®'s forward–thinking desire to move towards unexplored territories, radical because they disregard seasonality, endless and timeless.

Gaetano Pesce's multifaceted and polyhedral personality motivates his fame as a designer, artist, and architect. Through his work, Pesce has profoundly impacted the landscape of contemporary design, navigating a diverse career that spans architecture, art, furniture design, and sculptural works. "My career is not monolithic, but fragmented," this is how Pesce defined his journey, which began in the late 1950s and continued until 2024. Far from being linear, his path has been marked by bold eclecticism, leading him to engage with various design disciplines while demonstrating a penchant for experimentation and playfulness. Pesce challenged both aesthetic and functional conventions, creating objects with the immediate power to become unforgettable.

Since the early 1960s, Pesce has played a pivotal role within the radical design movement, characterised by an iconoclastic vision, aimed at breaking with the conventions of positivist modernism and exploring new creative possibilities. Through relentless innovation, artistic exploration and profoundly radical intellectual dynamism, Pesce emerged as a beacon of change, reshaping the landscape of contemporary design.
