Meritalia at other.circle: Gaetano Pesce’s Bold Manifesto at Copenhagen Design Week

During Copenhagen Design Week, Meritalia® at other.circle is not your typical furniture showcase; it’s a full-bodied manifesto for design without boundaries. Set within a pared-back space, the vivid creations of Gaetano Pesce take centre stage, each piece radiating with character, curiosity, and a deliberate rejection of convention.

Some Of Us is a luminous object from the Edizioni del Pesce collection by Gaetano Pesce

Here, colour and craft collide. The luminous Some Of Us, a resin portrait with soul-searching eyes, is more than decor; it’s a symbol of individuality and imperfection. Like much of Pesce’s work, it invites the viewer into a world where no two pieces are the same, where experimentation is the process and personality is the outcome.

Meanwhile, the irreverent La Michetta sofa reimagines Milan’s daily bread as a plush, modular icon of conviviality. Each segment surprises with its shape, colour, and tactile quality – boldly eschewing predictability for joy.  While Senzafine, a looped, knotted armchair made from extruded polyurethane, is both sculpture and seat, chaotic in form yet elegantly engineered.

Senzafine by Gaetano Pesce is a “tangled” armchair. Each piece originates from the continuous extrusion of a polyurethane cord

What unites this collection is a shared spirit: fluid, vibrant, and defiantly non-linear. Meritalia®, through its partnership with Pesce, doesn’t just create furniture. It creates expressive tools for living differently. The installation at other circle is a tribute to multiplicity; where the radical meets the refined, and design becomes a celebration of the self.

The Shadow armchair by Gaetano Pesce is moldless. It is the result of a manufacturing process developed and perfected by Meritalia®: the armchair is shaped with the injection of polyurethane foam, expanding and solidifying unpredictably.

Meritalia® stands as an incubator of multifaceted creativity, attuned to the evolving desires of a society in constant self-reflection. It envisions living spaces not as static environments, but as ever-shifting expressions of individuality. By rejecting the symmetry—and the monotony—of the traditional living room, Meritalia® reinvents the ordinary. Sofas, chairs, armchairs, and tables are transformed from everyday furnishings into extraordinary icons, each one a bold statement of form, function, and freedom.
