\u2018Luck and Sex. That\u2019s all.\u2019 A comment Paolo Pallucco once made about life, this\u00a0is the title of a new retrospective celebrating the work of the Italian designer and design entrepreneur, led by gallerists and curators Paul Bourdet, Stefan Cosma and Charlotte Ketabi-Lepard. The trio spent two years piecing together...
Pallucco founded his company in 1979 with the aim of relaunching forgotten design icons from the past, an approach to design that wouldn’t become fashionable until later in the 1980s. Through his work, he gave an audience to standout designs such as Mariano Fortuny’s spotlight-like ‘Fortuny’ floor lamp, Robert Mallet-Stevens ‘Model No. 222’ chair, and René Herbst’s ‘Sandows’ chair, a 1928 design now part of the collection at MoMA.
Pallucco acquired an avant-garde manufacturing expertise that allowed him to edit more complex pieces, and he also produced his own furniture designs, including seating, storage furniture, and tables. Because of the quality of his production, the aesthetics of his works can veer into the unexpected, with a disregard for tradition and comfort and a view towards a more radical approach.
