Corsi Design
Corsi Design was created in 2003 after a fortunate encounter between Gaetano Pesce and Andrea Corsi. The designer, sharing his magic formula, entrusted the artisan with creating a new range of resin products. Andrea Corsi began experimenting with the material, trying to subdue its fluctuating nature and paying meticulous attention to detail, improving the different models and creating a product line.
Years of experience, trial and error, intuition, and discovery have led to today’s exceptional results with the Fish Design collection.
A series of constantly evolving collections are mainly due to collaborations with internationally acclaimed designers combined with the mastery of artisans such as Paola Navone, Enzo Mari, Fratelli Campana, and, last but not least, Alessandro Mendini.
Material: In the mid-90s, Gaetano Pesce had the fortunate idea of using resin, an industrial material, to create art and design pieces. Subsequently, Andrea Corsi improved upon the techniques and carefully studied the material’s properties, achieving the unique quality that distinguishes all Corsi Design collections.
Techniques: Several techniques and various resins are used depending on the pieces being produced. The use of moulds, coloured pigments, spatula strokes, mixing, pouring, and extruding culminates in the purest gestures, with the sculptors using the resin as if it were clay.
Experimentation: Working day by day with material that doesn’t have a history allows us to observe the results, mistakes and coincidences, and that awareness, combined with the artisan’s expert hands, helps to create something magical and extraordinary every time.
