Gaetano Pesce’s Radical Office Design for TBWA/Chiat/Day
As the World Wide Web took its first steps, so too did Gaetano Pesce’s radical 1994 NYC office design for Chiat/Day. It marked an optimistic and experimental moment in history, one we we believe has been judged far too harshly. Our goal is to retell this story as a celebration of an artist who knew what the future wanted even when the present wasn’t ready for it.
