MZIN NEWS: ETTORE SOTTSASS — ULTIMATE MONOGRAPH (PHAIDON)

Ultimate monograph on influential Italian architect and designer Ettore Sottsass

A comprehensive, lavishly illustrated monograph on Ettore Sottsass (1917–2007), the iconic Italian architect and designer
Sottsass, a defining figure in the Postmodernist movement, is best known for founding the Memphis Group and designing the Olivetti ‘Valentine’ typewriter
This in-depth look at Sottsass dedicates each chapter to a period in his career, exploring the major disciplines he pursued at that time, from furniture and graphic design to photography, ceramics and architecture
A uniquely designed package allows for the book to be read either cover-to-cover as a chronological history, or by discipline, picking up the relative thread under each period, with special coloured tabs to distinguish each sub-chapter
