An exclusive selection
On the occasion of PAD 2026, Pulp Galerie presents a selection focused on sharp lines and glacial reflections.
Light becomes a game as it follows the liquid lines of Ross Lovegrove’s bench, dances across the surfaces of Ron Arad. Faced with these pieces, no one can settle for the conventional. In a single shiver, this selection triggers an immediate reaction, an almost frenzied urge to exclaim: admiration or rejection, but never indifference.
Pentagon Gruppe
On the eve of the fall of the Berlin Wall, in a still-divided Germany largely closed to design experimentation, Pentagon circumvented the lack of collaborative industry and media support by creating their own gallery. Producing their pieces themselves, either as unique works or in very small editions, they embraced an aesthetic of the unfinished: raw metal, visible welds, sanding marks, and modest materials.
The Amazonas desk is composed of a stoneware top sourced from the Ruhr River, steel, and a water circulation system. The desk thus becomes a true experimental field. Behind its simple form, the introduction of flowing water and vegetation transforms the piece into an almost living element, halfway between furniture and installation, like an ode to great rivers.
Ross Lovegrove (1958)
To create using the most innovative methods possible: this is the almost scientific approach that Ross Lovegrove applies to his work. Alongside the use of digital technologies lies meticulous craftsmanship, always in pursuit of absolute perfection.
The Liquid Bench results from a process comparable to the design of an aeronautical object. Its base is carved from a single block of aluminum using a milling machine, then appears to stretch endlessly at its center. Each of the ten examples in the series features a different size, with the artist alone deciding when to halt the stretching process.
Featuring a fully polished surface, this perfectly functional mirror seems to shift from solid to liquid, as though melting onto the floor of PAD Paris.
A theatrical scenography
Accompanied by the scenography duo Gorylle Studio, Pulp Galerie will present a bold and immersive display. Through an interplay of frosted metal and mirrors, a crystalline atmosphere is gradually revealed after passing through a narrow corridor of long PVC strips suspended from floor to ceiling.
Never before has a gallery transported its collectors into a monumental refrigerator.
Pulp Galerie: form before function, style above all
Specializing in design from the 1980s to the 2000s, Pulp Galerie was founded through the collaboration of Paul Ménacer-Poussin and Paul-Louis Betto. Driven by their passion for radical and sensual aesthetics, they present an eclectic yet harmonious selection.
From the colorful resins of Gaetano Pesce to the raw metal of the Pentagon Group, their rare pieces transcend the boundary between furniture and sculpture, offering a unique aesthetic experience far removed from functionalism.

Featured Designers
The designers presented include Gaetano Pesce, Yves de la Tour d’Auvergne, Ross Lovegrove, as well as the Pentagon collective, alongside Mario Botta, Ron Arad, Elizabeth Garouste & Mattia Bonetti, Paolo Pallucco and Hermann Becker.
Gaetano Pesce (1939–2024)
A major figure among bold designers, Gaetano Pesce has always challenged the norms of a globalized aesthetic. Through his creations, he stimulates our memories and senses: the Greene Street chair reflects a balance as fragile as our world, while the Nobody’s Perfect series captivates with its irresistible anthropomorphic forms.
Pesce’s work resonates as a visual and sensory call to question established norms.
At PAD 2026, Pulp Galerie will present two pieces made of highly silicon-based resins, evoking a liquid pierced by cold. Always vibrant in color, these two lamps, Square and Wall Lamp, feature a set of light bulbs concealed at the back, diffusing light indirectly, as if through a delicate veil of translucent resin.

Mario Botta (1943-)
Mario Botta alone embodies the DNA of the 1980s. An architect before being a designer, his work adopts a refined and distinctive style. His creations remain etched in everyone’s mind, as their lines resonate like a perfect balance. Verticals and horizontals intersect; the lines play like a musical score. Black and white, in turn, sway like the metronome of this style.
The drawings of Botta’s furniture are always imbued with the hallmarks of architecture. The Quarta armchair is inspired by two skyscrapers whose structure alternates between metal and void. A true work of op art, the chair appears and disappears in an optical illusion as the viewer moves around it.
