From the collaboration between Gaetano Pesce and Zerodisegno comes the Nobody’s Perfect collection, which includes thirteen different types, each made up of unique and diverse pieces: uniqueness, diversity, and imperfection are the principles of this revolutionary collection.
Each piece is marked Gaetano Pesce/Zerodisegno and is also dated and signed by the worker involved in the creative/production process.
The meeting in 2002 between Gaetano Pesce and Carlo Poggio was a spark that “subverted design and production models and brought art into the factory and the Zerodisegno factory into museums,” leaving behind a historic legacy of extraordinary and unmistakable pieces known for their beauty, originality, and the meaning they convey.
The ‘Nobody’s Perfect’ collection, created in collaboration with Gaetano Pesce, is – like the other Zerodisegno collections – a historic project and is no longer in production.
This collection contains avante garde objects that are characterised by the strong emotions that they evoke as well as their playfulness and dynamism. The collection was developed thanks to intense relationships that have developed over the years with important designers such as De Pas, D'Urbino and Lomazzi, Santachiara, Ferreri and Rashid.
Three pieces of furniture that have an architectural plant, which are mainly made of aluminum with decorations of stylistic pictorial three-dimensional effect, impressed by sublimation. This particular effect of light and shade is obtained by photographing crumpled paper sheets decorated with polychrome signs under razing light: the images thus obtained are transferred on to the pieces through the sublimation process. Each of the three sideboards is also decorated and colored with an architectural trompe l’œil.
The circle closes, three years of collaboration between Alessandro Menini and ZERODISEGNO have as a result, in order of time, a collection of absolute and extraordinary pieces. The stylistic elements become round and multi-colored, the play of light and shadows and three-dimensionality is ensured by the processes of manipulation, photo and sublimation. THis continuing research becomes a psychological and aesthetic vision, contained in pieces that all have the shape of a perfect circle.
The Decollages collection, created in collaboration with Mimmo Rotella, is—much like the other Zerodisegno collections—a historical project and is no longer in production or available for sale.
From Mimmo Rotella's genius to the new elaboration of ZERODISEGNO. Some of the most important works of the great artist have been interpreted, elaborated, torn and sublimated on zinc coated plates in order to realize a unique "decollage" collection. In this way the works become sculptures and assume the forms of furniture thanks to Marco Ferreri's design. He has been able to grasp the outstanding gesture of the original works, made of removing, looking inside, finding out
Alessandro Mendini designed for ZERODISEGNO a solid alphabet made of stylisticand colorful features. Every decorative aspect is fixed and variably repeated on nine sideboards, giving life to a collection of functional objects becoming domestic sculptures under the name of DIADAINCONSUPERTRAFRA. Nine is a magic number within the collection: 9 stylistic features, 9 different colors and nine configurations, each of them produced in a limited edition of nine pieces, numbered and signed by the artist.
The theme, or better, the inspiration for this collection is Italy; not a stereotypical Italy but rather a critical vision of a beautiful country. It is a collection not without affection and where possible with that vein of humour which has often accompanied ZERODISEGNO, starting from the title “L’Italia ricomincia da ZERO” (Italy starts again from ZERO).
Angi gives a new life to plastic by recycling and extruding it. ZERODISEGNO created a large table and a console with a pure and rational design in polished-mirrored steel which Angi works on to create plastic gems that emerge from their crusts, exploding like a sudden downpour, full of coloured and joyful drops that contaminate the object and spread the virus of optimism.
