Ettore Sottsass Biography

Ettore Sottsass (Innsbruck, 1917 - Milan, 2007) Ettore Sottsass was a designer from Innsbruck. He graduated from the Polytechnic of Turin and subsequently opened his own studio in Milan. His interest in industrial design and furniture was born and it was in those years that he began his collaboration with Olivetti, for which he designed a series of office equipment. He was among the promoters of the "Abstract Art in Italy" exhibition in Rome and joined Spatialism. Sottsass demonstrated his innovative strength above all in furniture design and was one of the first to indicate design as a tool of social criticism, combining avant-garde Pop, poverty and conceptual suggestions. Together with other international architects he founded the Memphis group, with the aim of creating objects with a symbolic and emotional depth, as "emotion comes before function". As happens with "Carlton", a library halfway between a totem and a video game. These pieces, designed between 1981 and 1985, are among his best-known objects and represent icons of modernity. Subsequently Sottsass began his collaboration exclusively with galleries, such as the Blum Helman Gallery in New York and the Mourmans Gallery. Numerous solo exhibitions have been dedicated to him all over the world, in important places such as the MoMA in New York, the Center Pompidou, the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, the Stedelik Museum, the Luigi Pecci Center for Contemporary Art.
