Design vase "Goto" was designed by Architect/Designer Gaetano Pesce in 1995 , realized for the 'Caffè Florian' during the temporary exhibition during the Venice Biennale of 1995. 
The text on the vase is in Italian "Brindiamo a Venezia", object-sculpture modeled with a mask depicting the head of the Lion of San MarCo. On the bottom: "Florian Temporanea". Each Vase / Goto is different from the other and is a unique piece because during the realization it was made to color, inside the mold, resin of different colors. Text translated in English: Let's toast in Venice to become a place of modern life, modern behavior, progress, services, joy, optimism, discovery, trust in the future, courage, open to the culture of current world ... and not a place of prejudice, protection, conservation, immobility, soporific place, museum-cult of the past, example of reaction, desperate place for the younger generation, of torpor, of provincialism, of mute nostalgic enterprises ... no longer masks-surrogates of the present time that asks Venice for space to exist. - Gaetano Pesce at the Florian Venice 1995 Summer 
 

Gaetano Pesce was born in Italy in 1939 and studied architecture at the University of Venice. After graduating in 1965, he moved between London, Padova, Helsinki, and Paris, before settling in New York in 1980. From the beginning, Pesce’s practice has straddled the boundaries between art, design, urban planning, and architecture, always using his work as a vehicle to communicate his perspective on the world today.

With resin, foam, and plastics as his signature materials, Pesce has designed for companies such as Cassina, B&B Italia, and Vitra. His architectural work includes the Organic Building of Osaka, the Children’s House for Parc de la Villette, the Gallery Mourmons in Belgium, and the TBWA\Chiat\Day office in New York.

Pesce has served as a visiting lecturer and professor at many prestigious institutions in America and abroad, principally the Cooper Union in New York. He is currently a faculty member at the Institut d'Architecture et d'Etude Urbaines in Strasbourg.
