The re-release of this highly acclaimed title demonstrates the continual fascination, from both fans and collectors, with the life and work of Italian architect and designer Ettore Sottsass. Packed with beautiful images taken from the extensive Sottsass archives and including drawings and sketches from the designer’s countless sketchbooks, the book explores his entire career from the 1940s to the 2000s, covering everything from his architectural projects and product design to his ceramics, sculpture, and graphics.

Sottsass’s work is popular and infl uential in equal measure, from his designs for Olivetti (such as the striking, bright red, manual typewriter, the Valentine, with its ingenious carry-case) to the post-modern brilliance of the work of the Memphis Group, founded by Sottsass in Milan in 1980

Hubo una época en la que Olivetti y Braun eran los reyes del diseño. Eran tan buenos que sus diseños siguen siendo algo difícil de superar. Dieter Rams y Walter Ballmer siguen siendo a día de hoy auténticos dioses.

Un diseño que ni siquiera Ettore Sottsass pudo estropear.

Decoration can be a state of mind, an unusual perception, a ritual whisper.

Catalogue de l'exposition présentée au Musée des Arts décoratifs, à Paris, du 22 octobre 2022 au 16 avril 2023.

700 œuvres – objets, mobilier, silhouettes de mode, affiches, photographies, clips, pochettes de disques et fanzines – retracent cette époque frénétique synonyme d’éclectisme, où le postmodernisme ouvre tous les possibles artistiques.

Les années 80 voient naître une nouvelle génération de designers – Olivier Gagnère, Elizabeth Garouste et Mattia Bonetti, Philippe Starck, Martin Szekely… – dans un contexte propice à la liberté d’expression. La silhouette, elle aussi, se libère des injonctions de style et certains créateurs de mode sont élevés au rang de « superstars » comme Jean Paul Gaultier ou Thierry Mugler. La publicité, le design graphique et l’audiovisuel connaissent leurs années fastes avec Jean-Paul Goude, Jean-Baptiste Mondino et Étienne Robial. De la musique new wave au post-punk en passant par le hip-hop  : c’est toute une histoire de la fête qui s’écrit dans des lieux mythiques fréquentés par les noctambules du Tout-Paris.
