The selection was eclectic, mirroring the gallery’s taste where a clear leaning toward certain designers could be felt already.
For this debut edition, special emphasis was placed on the works of Paolo Pallucco: the Tankette coffee table (1987), the Barba d’Argento armchair (1986), the Forte Ponte table (1989), and the Chair n.1 (1983) by Rei Kawakubo, also produced by Paolo Pallucco.
In this metallic universe, Robert Wilson’s Hamlet Machine chair (1986) held court. It was joined by Mario Botta’s Quarta chair (1984), inspired by twin skyscrapers with alternating bands of metal and void. A true piece of optical art, the chair appears and vanishes in a play of illusions as the viewer moves around it.
PAD Paris 2024, France
PAD Paris 2024 marked Pulp Galerie’s very first participation in a major design fair. And, like any proper introduction, it was time to make a statement.
Having started as a by-appointment-only gallery in a private apartment, Pulp Galerie seized the energy of PAD week to unveil its Haussmannian lair at the heart of the Tuileries Garden.

The highlight of the show was undoubtedly Gaetano Pesce’s bed from the Nobody’s Perfect series (2002–2007). Radiating the colors of stained glass, this extraordinary piece captured the hearts of collectors. A vivid embodiment of the most intoxicating emotions, the bed celebrates love in perfect harmony – symbolized through a kiss.
Le clou du spectacle résidait dans le lit de Gaetano Pesce, issu de la série Nobody’s Perfect (2002-2007). Cette pièce exceptionnelle, aux couleurs dignes des plus beaux vitraux, a fait chavirer le cœur des collectionneurs. Fidèle expression des sentiments les plus enivrants, ce lit symbolise – par le biais du baiser – l’amour à l’unisson.
