- Philippe Thomé wrote this much-loved monograph on the legendary Italian designer and architect Ettore Sottsass.
-
It demonstrates the continued fascination of fans and collectors with the designer's popular and influential work from his designs for Olivetti (such as the striking, bright red typewriter, the Valentine, with its ingenious carry-case) to the post-modern brilliance of the work of the Memphis Group, founded by Sottsass in Milan in 1980.
-
Packed with beautiful images taken from the extensive Sottsass archives and including drawings and sketches from the designer's countless sketchbooks, the book explores his entire career from the 1940s to the 2000s, covering everything from his architectural projects and product design to his ceramics, sculpture, and graphics.
