He studied at the <strong>Polytechnic University<\/strong> of Turin from which he graduated in 1939. In 1947 he moved to Milan where he opened his own design agency. Sottsass was interested in all creative fields: <strong>ceramics<\/strong>, <strong>painting<\/strong>, <strong>sculpture<\/strong>, <strong>photography<\/strong>, <strong>jewelry<\/strong>, <strong>furniture<\/strong>, <strong>graphic design<\/strong> and <strong>architecture<\/strong>. In 1956 he went to New York; there he worked for a few months in <strong>George Nelson<\/strong>&#8216;s design agency where he became familiar with industrial design. He also discovered American consumer society and Pop Art that would both influence his work. He was then appointed artistic director by <strong>Sergio Cammilli<\/strong>, founder of <strong>Poltronova<\/strong>. Over the ten years of their collaboration, Sottsass completed about sixty projects .<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;

His works &#8220;release <strong>positive<\/strong> <strong>energies<\/strong>, <strong>vital<\/strong> <strong>energies<\/strong>, even <strong>therapeutic<\/strong> <strong>ones<\/strong>&#8221; (<strong>Ettore<\/strong> <strong>Sottsass<\/strong>). He also enjoyed experimenting with new creative techniques by using and mixing luxurious materials. In 1958 he participated in the creation of the first Italian computer. In 1969 he designed the red <strong>typewriter<\/strong> <strong>Valentina<\/strong>, which is one of the <strong>most<\/strong> <strong>popular<\/strong> <strong>creations<\/strong> of the <strong>XX<\/strong> <strong>century<\/strong> design. <strong>Ettore Sottsass<\/strong> is also a great lover of ceramics because he can do many experiments. He began to work in ceramics in 1955 and made objects that \u00absolicit the perception that everyone has, or may have of his own adventure\u00bb (Domus, Milano, Editoriale Domus, Milan 1971, No. 499, 710). His famous ceramic totems, created between 1964 and 1965, are the expression of his research.<\/p>\n<p>In the mid-1960s, a protest group of Florentine and Turin architects and designers formed the Antidesign movement. The consumer society pushes them to question architecture and design that are no longer in their time. <strong>Sottsass<\/strong> actively participates in this movement by creating with his wife the magazine <strong>Pianeta<\/strong> <strong>Fresco<\/strong> which publishes their debates and reflections.<\/p>\n<p>In 1972, an exhibition dedicated to Italian design was organized by <strong>Emilio Ambasz<\/strong> at <strong>MOMA<\/strong> in New York. Entitled Italy: The New Domestic Lanscape, it presents the productions of Italian artists and designers and their reflections on a new way of living in a new society.<strong> Sottsass<\/strong> presents prototypes of container furniture that each contain an activity of the house. \u00abThe idea is that the furniture can get closer or move away from each other. Thus, he who lives in the midst of his furniture must be able to approach it or to leave it, as same for his friends or his parents, if he has the desire to do it. (Italy: The New Domestic Lanscape, New York, The Museum of Modern Art, 1972).<\/p>\n<p>In 1981, <strong>Sottsass<\/strong> founded the Memphis group. The furniture of this group, innovative shapes and bright colors, are an imme- diate success. The Memphis group will be spreading the new design movement around the world. The end of <strong>Sottsass<\/strong>\u2019s career is marked by a lot of architectural projects.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ettore Sottsass<\/strong> died on December 31, 2007, aged 90, in Milan, Italy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/et_pb_toggle][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=&#8221;Row&#8221; make_fullwidth=&#8221;on&#8221; use_custom_width=&#8221;off&#8221; width_unit=&#8221;on&#8221; use_custom_gutter=&#8221;off&#8221; padding_mobile=&#8221;off&#8221; allow_player_pause=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax_method=&#8221;off&#8221; make_equal=&#8221;off&#8221; column_padding_mobile=&#8221;on&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; module_class=&#8221; et_pb_row_fullwidth et_pb_row_fullwidth et_pb_row_fullwidth et_pb_row_fullwidth et_pb_row_fullwidth&#8221; width=&#8221;89%&#8221; width_tablet=&#8221;80%&#8221; width_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; max_width=&#8221;89%&#8221; max_width_tablet=&#8221;80%&#8221; max_width_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; parallax_method=&#8221;on&#8221;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Titre \u0153uvres&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;light&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;left&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; module_class=&#8221;titressections&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Works<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_portfolio admin_label=&#8221;Liste des \u0153uvres&#8221; fullwidth=&#8221;off&#8221; show_title=&#8221;off&#8221; show_categories=&#8221;off&#8221; show_pagination=&#8221;off&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;light&#8221; hover_overlay_color=&#8221;rgba(255,255,255,0.6)&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; posts_number=&#8221;80&#8243; include_categories=&#8221;2320&#8243; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_portfolio][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section bb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; admin_label=&#8221;section&#8221; inner_width=&#8221;auto&#8221; inner_max_width=&#8221;1080px&#8221; prev_background_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221;][et_pb_row admin_label=&#8221;row&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; width=&#8221;80%&#8221; max_width=&#8221;1080px&#8221;][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ettore Sottsass (1917-2007) Ettore Sottsass, an Italian designer and architect, was born in September 1917.
