Dive into two shots of chutzpah. A scoop of boldness. A smidgen of kitsch.

#TrendAlert Two shots of chutzpah. A scoop of boldness. A smidgen of kitsch. Here is a recipe to brew your style frappuccino. The perfect companion for you to flip through our ode to Gaetano Pesce. Post-modern and provocative, his oeuvre pushes you to chart untrodden territories. But beware of the bewitching after-effects of this maximalist home decor trend for 2024.

Tangerine arches tumbling. A chikoo rendezvous. Strawberry soft serve with a side of greens. Gay abandon takes over this apartment in Mumbai by Zero9 and offers a generous helping of the “gorgeous granita”. Curiously dubbed unGREY, sober shades harmonise with the saccharine while curves share pride of place with straight lines. Murmurs of Mid-century Modern geometry. A pinch of retro panache. Nothing, yet everything comes together at this home; Photograph by Yadnyesh Joshi; Styling by Anu Chauhan and Salonee Thakre

Move over silver linings, this cloud is crafted in cotton candy. Toshiya Hayashi and Hokuto Ando of Japanese studio we+ pair up with curator Marcello Smarrelli of Fondazione Ermanno Casoli to play mixologist, stirring up a site-specific installation Straordinaria for Elica. A riot of raspberry, a hint of mango and an overflow of blueberry, sip guilt-free on the joie de vivre concoction; Photograph by Genevieve Lutkin

Heterogeneous, harmonious and unapologetically audacious. Behold Pesce’s set for Bottega Veneta’s Summer ‘23 show. The maverick designer proclaimed, “This space is a tribute to diversity. It is about the human being; we are all different.” And so are the 400 resin chairs and the sculptural walkway that serve a scoopful of “gorgeous granita”; Photograph by Matteo Canestraro
