A comprehensive, lavishly illustrated monograph on Ettore Sottsass (1917-2007), the iconic Italian architect and designer.
Sottsass, a defining figure in the Postmodernist movement, is best known for founding the Memphis Group and designing the Olivetti 'Valentine' typewriter.
This in-depth look at Sottsass dedicates each chapter to a period in his career, exploring the major disciplines he pursued at that time, from furniture and graphic design to photography, ceramics and architecture.
A uniquely designed package allows for the book to be read either cover-to-cover as a chronological history, or by discipline, picking up the relative thread under each period, with special coloured tabs to distinguish each sub-chapter.
Richly illustrated with never-before-published biographical photographs from the Sottsass archives, the book includes a section showcasing the best of his countless drawings and sketches.
