Founder of the legendary Memphis design movement, the gifted Italian designer Ettore Sottsass is internationally renowned for his contribution to almost every area of modern design. Architecture, furniture, photography, graphic design, jewelry, and other crafts have all come under his influence, and his own work in each of these areas is unparalleled in its dynamism and technical mastery. Written by Sottsass himself, this book focuses on his inspired ceramics created between 1956 and the present day.

More than 100 superb color plates bring to life a diverse and expansive collection of objects - many of them one-of-a-kind - that are decorative and functional, imaginative and innovative, colorful and visually exciting.

Work Description

Ettore Sottsass (1917- 2007) zählt zu den Protagonisten des italienischen Designs der zweiten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts und avancierte zu einem der weltweit erfolgreichsten Produktgestalter. Ausgebildet als Architekt eine Tätigkeit, auf die er erst in späten Jahren zurückkam , prägte er mit seinen Objektentwürfen das Lebensgefühl mehrerer Dekaden. Er arbeitete für renommierte Firmen wie Olivetti, Poltronova oder Alessi doch dass er eine besondere Vorliebe für den Werkstoff Keramik hegte, ist bis heute nur unzulänglich erfasst worden. Ton galt ihm als Urmaterie schlechthin, die er zunächst handwerklich-künstlerisch, später industriell anfertigen liess. Die Bedeutung, welche die Keramik für Sottsass besass, äussert sich auch in zahlreichen überaus persönlichen Texten, die er für diverse Zeitschriften verfasste.
