Book Condition: Very Good Dust Jacket Condition: Good, contains minor traces of wear. Born in 1917, Italian architect and designer Ettore Sottsass is today best known as the founder in the early 1980s or Memphis, the Milan-based design collaborative. As a harbinger or Postmodern design, Memphis - and soon Sottsass himself - became the subject of widespread public attention. As this book demonstrates, however, Sottsass has been a pioneer of worldwide significance in all major fields of design - furniture, ceramics, glass, jewelery, architecture and industrial design throughout his sixty-five-year career, during which he has collaborated with many of the world's best-known manufacturers, Alessi, Olivetti and Sevres among them. Ettore Sottsass (14 September 1917 – 31 December 2007) was a 20th century Italian architect, noted for also designing furniture, jewelry, glass, lighting, home and office wares, as well as numerous buildings and interiors — often defined by bold colors. He has worked for names such as Knoll, Alessi, Stilnovo, Olivetti and Memphis Group. Ettore Sotsass was one of the most influential architect alongside names as Le Corbusier, Mies Van Der Rohe, Charlotte Perriand, Pierre Jeanneret, Wiel Arets, Eames, Eero Saarinen and Alvar Aalto. His unconventional ideas were controversial but have now become widely recognized and appreciated. The work continues to be influential throughout the world and can be seen in the Art Institute of Chicago, the Design Museum in London, The Museum of Modern Art in New York and many others.
