Ernesto Michahelles (Florence, 21 August 1893 – Marina di Pietrasanta, 29 April 1959) was an Italian artist. Known by his stage name Thayaht, Ernesto Michahelles was a sculptor, painter, photographer, designer, architect, inventor and goldsmith. He was an extremely eclectic and innovative artist, a forerunner of new sensibilities: his work stands out for its lines and synthetic shapes, which through precise geometry express an exquisite elegance. It was Tommaso Marinetti who enrolled him in Futurism, together with his brother Ruggero Alfredo Michahelles, stage name Ram. He also worked in the field of fashion following his meeting in Paris in 1918 with Madeleine Vionnet for whom he designed garments with innovative color combinations and geometric combinations for the time. He is the inventor, in 1919, with his brother Ram, of the Tuta.
