A major figure of the post-modern design, Pucci De Rossi develops a unique work by imagining objects that transcend their functions with poetry and humour. 

Italian artist born in Verona, he was a sculptor, designer and artist unclassifiable of the European art scene in the 80s and 90s. 

Trained by the American sculptor H.B. Walker, he began his career in 1971 by revealing an inspiration that borrows from the Art Nouveau’s motifs, the minimalism of Arte Povera but also the neobaroque of the Memphis studio. 

For its first works, Pucci De Rossi designs and assembles furniture and jewellery with strange and unstable shapes, playing on diversion and  discrepancies with its own imagination.  

In 1977 he moved to Paris and was spotted by the great discoverer Pierre Staudenmeyer. Thus, his work regularly takes place within the Neotù Gallery since 1985 and then successively at Downtown and Kreo Galleries. The artist's attachment to the idea of a functional everyday life, restructuring fragments of boneless furniture in his own way, places his production at the crossroads of functional sculpture and derision furniture.

For the 2019 PAD edition, Mouvements Modernes Gallery presents  the Jumbo wardrobe, an iconic piece of the artist's work, created in 1990.
