L'idée de ce livre conçu par Milco Carboni, est de raconter cette période intense de création à travers une sélection de travaux et de textes pour la plupart inédit. Cet ouvrage rassemble un ensemble unique d'œuvres et de projets - dessins, meubles, objets, céramiques, photographies, affiches, écrits, architectures, etc. - où Sottsass s'affranchit des principes du fonctionnalisme et du rationalisme en architecture pour privilégier la sensorialité, la dimension du rite, et inventer un nouveau langage projectuel. Internationalement connu comme l'un des artisans du renouvellement du design et de l'architecture, Sottsass ignore les frontières conventionnellement établies entre différentes disciplines. Son travail est fondé selon un principe de " fertilisation croisée " marqué par l'hindouisme et son intense spiritualité. Il a participé à la plupart des expériences artistiques de l'après-guerre notamment celles de la " Beat Generation " avec laquelle il revendique une culture pacifique de la révolution. " Ettore Sottsass Jr 60' 70' " nous propose une nouvelle poétique où se mêlent ironie, provocation et expérimentation, et constitue une clef essentielle de compréhension de l'œuvre d'un des designers les plus importants du XXe siècle.

De ultieme biografie van de toonaangevende ontwerper Ettore Sottsass, Design museum Gent beschikt over een grote collectie meubilair, glas, keramiek en andere objecten van Sottsass; het boek is zeer mooi uitgegeven met speciale kaft en reproductie van vele tekeningen in verschillende formaten; citaat website uitgever: Perhaps best known as the founder of the Memphis Group in the 1980s – famous for its colourful and flamboyant furniture, ceramics and lighting pieces – Sottsass started his career working as a design consultant for Olivetti. He traveled extensively, particularly in the United States where he found a lot of inspiration. He is quoted as once having said: "When I was young, all we ever heard about was functionalism, functionalism, functionalism. It’s not enough. Design should also be sensual and exciting." This playfulness certainly comes across in his work. Packed with beautiful images taken from the Sottsass archives, many of which have never been published before and including drawings and sketches from the designer’s countless sketchbooks, this book looks at his entire career. Text by Philippe Thome – an expert on Sottsass’ work – is ordered chronologically and split into periods, each containing sections on the main disciplines that Sottsass pursued in that period along with biographical material. For example, the 1945 -1949 chapter opens with a biography section followed by texts on sculpture/painting, architecture, interior/furniture, installations and graphic design. The book also includes five short essays, each written by an expert in their field and exploring Sottsass’ work in the following disciplines, placing it in a wider context: - architecture- graphic design- photography- industrial design- collector’s editions. The book is structured according to the narrative text which takes a chronological route through Sottsass’ career, and is broken down into periods, opening with a biographical section and then exploring the disciplines that were most relevant in that period. The book can either be read cover-to-cover as a narrative history, or by discipline, picking up the relative thread under each period.

Including newly commissioned essays by curators and scholars, this book explores how Sottsass's art and philosophy presaged the dawn of PCs, the service industry, and the gig economy. Ettore Sottsass was an architect, industrial designer, painter, writer, photographer, and founder of the Memphis group, whose designs are undergoing an impressive renaissance. But Sottsass was more than just an important designer. His approach to object design – marked by bold colours, tactility, and vitality – was a direct response to the world of mass production and the assembly-line economy. This revelatory collection of essays by leading thinkers in the fields of political theory, economics, the media, design history, and cultural theory contextualises Sottsass's work in unprecedented arguments that draw a line from his work at Olivetti to the iconoclastic designs he produced at the dawn of the 21st century. Divided into five chronological sections – from the late 1950s to Sottsass's death in 2007 – these essays are illustrated with vibrant images of his work and archival photographs. Deeply researched, the book makes crucial connections between postwar Europe and America, and the way we work and live today.
