Norma, Paris, 2009, similar model p. 465 - - Pucci de Rossi (1947-2013) Pucci de Rossi (1947-2013) was an Italian designer and sculptor renowned for his postmodern creations that blended poetry, functionality and humor. After moving to Paris in 1977, he became a major design figure of the 1980s and 1990s, influenced by Art Nouveau, Arte Povera and neo-Baroque. His works, often "sculptural furniture", transcended the utilitarian functions of objects. He collaborated with the likes of Hubert Bukobza and Jean-Claude Binoche, and exhibited his creations in renowned galleries. In 2012, he worked with the Manufacture Nationale de Sèvres to reinvent the Médicis vase. Before his death, he designed the façade of the Vente-privee.com headquarters in La Plaine-Saint-Denis, a tribute to his native Verona. A book was dedicated to him in 2017, consolidating his legacy as an essential figure in contemporary design.
