This rare silver *Goto* vase by Gaetano Pesce, created in 1995 for the *Caffè Florian* during the Venice Biennale, exemplifies the designer’s avant-garde approach. Measuring 16 x 11.3 x 10 cm and weighing 162 grams, the vase is crafted from resin, showcasing Pesce’s experimental use of materials and molds. Inscribed with a text urging Venice to embrace modernity and innovation, it critiques the city’s fixation on its historical legacy. Each vase is unique, reflecting Pesce’s philosophy of individuality in design. Marked “Florian Temporanea” on the bottom, it underscores its origin and exclusive production. Pesce, renowned for works like the *Up* series and the *Organic Building,* is celebrated for bold, innovative designs held in major museum collections worldwide.
