Summary:

"The earliest work of Ettore Sottsass established the reputation of Italian design as the best in the world. His designs for such leading firms as Olivetti and Alessi and as the founding member of the Memphis design group paved the way for the numerous designers working today and continues to lead the field in new directions."--BOOK JACKET. "Collected here in this retrospective volume are Sottsass's projects from 1980 to the present. This prolific designer's work in all fields - architecture and interior, industrial, and graphic design - is presented here, from lamps and electronics to showrooms, the Nanon House in Belgium and the interior of the new Milan International Airport."--Jacket.
