Product description
ETTORE SOTTSASS HAS, THROUGH A LONG CAREER, BEEN ONE OF THE MOST PROVOCATIVE AND INFLUENTIAL FIGURES IN THE STORY OF MODERN DESIGN. BASED IN ITALY, AND IN EVERY WAY A QUINTESSENTIAL ITALIAN ABLE TO BLEND RIGOR, WIT AND FLAIR, HE HAS DONE MORE THAN ANYONE TO PROMOTE THE SPIRIT OF ITALIAN DESIGN TO AN INTERNATIONAL AUDIENCE. SOTTSASS HAS TURNED HIS HAND TO EVERY CHALLENGE, FROM THE DEMANDS OF CLASSIC DESIGN FOR INDUSTRY TO THE CREATION OF EXTRAVAGANT FORMS AND MOTIFS THAT SERVE AS COMPLEX METAPHORS. SOTTSASS IS AS MUCH A PHILOSOPHER AS A DESIGNER AND SEES NO REASON TO SEPARATE THE TWO ROLES. HE HAS ATTRACTED THE PASSIONATE SUPPORT OF CORPORATIONS AND OF INDIVIDUALS.
