Born in Innsbruck in 1917, Ettore Sottsass is known all over the world over as one of the initiators of the revolution in architecture and design which led away from the rigid functionalism of the years prior to and following the Second World War. As a great and influential maestro of Italian design, the energy of Sottsass’ language and the vitality of his color and line contrast sharply with intellectualism and rigidity. The pieces designed by Ettore Sottsass are beautiful examples of his design specialty. Item: |
