Italian designer Gaetano Pesce has died in New York aged 84. The news was announced by his team and family: ‘It is with a heavy heart we announce the passing of visionary creator Gaetano Pesce,’ reads the announcement. 'Over the course of six decades Gaetano revolutionised the worlds of art, design, architecture and the liminal spaces between these categories. His originality and nerve are matched by none.

‘Despite dealing with health-related setbacks, especially in the last year, Gaetano remained positive, playful and ever curious. He is survived by his children, family, and all who adored him. His uniqueness, creativity and special message live on through his art. Ciao Gaetano!'
