Designer wood and metal shelf Bernini
LUIGI NUOVO by Gaetano Pesce

The inspiration comes from the bookcase of the series entitled "Luigi" or "Do you love me?" designed in 1982 by Gaetano Pesce for Bernini. The name of the collection was a scheme in itself: a friend of Gaetano's and lover of wood was called Luigi. The second pan of the phrase is a question addressed by the designer to his own "fans" that aims to gauge whether the appreciation of his works, for the first time built in wood, has remained such. While tidying up the basement of his house in New York. Pesce came across the original product. Appreciating once more the quality of the project, which he had somehow forgotten about, he decided to set to work on it again, radically overhauling dimensions, materials and finish, creating, in short, something new ... Hence the name "New Luigi".
