What a nice memorial to Pesce. I like the mid-century look, but also the colorful, imaginative art and architecture of Pesce. Great job!!

Sad day. Appreciate the comment.

His exploration of materials was so liberated and fun.

[@christopherwestpresents]

I couldn’t agree more. Thanks so much for the comment.

So sad to hear. I remember first discovering him and his work when in architecture school in the late 1980's and early 1990's. I always loved his lounge chair. You put together a very nice piece on him.

Thank you. And yes - he brought a lot of fun and play back into design.

Where you mention your favorite designers. I watched the one on Joan jones and really like the format of your videos. I’m an aspiring furniture designer and found the history that you go into in this video very interesting. Could you do a video on the evolution of different design eras?

[@christopherwestpresents]

Obviously one of my favs too! Thanks so much for the comment 🙏

Sad news indeed. But... Thank you for this video.

He truly had an impact on me. Woke up this morning and knew i had to do something. Thank you.

Great way to commemorate him ❤ what’s the colorful cityscape piece that is shown at 2:05?

[@christopherwestpresents]

Thank you! And I think the cityscape was just a PoMo graphic for a magazine. I’ll try to find it.
