Gaetano Pesce’s playful Nobody’s Perfect chair (2001) embodies diversity within standardization. Following simple guidelines, the maker pours pigmented resin into a mold to achieve a random quantity and mix of colors. The back of this chair presents an excellent example of the phenomena of Pareidolia, which encouragee you to see an image resembling a face.

The liquid resin is hardened into the furniture’s components, which are later assembled with pegs.

The ‘face’ that the back of this chair resembles is quite fun!
