The brightly colored Crosby chairs sum up Gaetano Pesce’s approach to design. They are made of pliable resin, an industrial synthetic material, treated as if it were a craft material. The colors, details, and dimensions of each chair are unique, while a mold allows for serial production. Pesce made adult and children’s Crosby chairs, which were named for the street address of his New York studio.
