The Passing of Ettore Sottsass

Ok, hands up those of you who have even heard of who Ettore Sottsass was until now?

Not many would do so (Unless you found this blog via a search for sottsass of course).

The Art/Architecture world lost Ettore Sottsass in December 2007. He was 90 Years old. He will be best remembred for his legacy to the art & architectural community. His work was innovative, bold and at times quirky, but was always held in high esteem by his peers.

Among his most famous works was the infamous Olivetti Red Typewritter.

You can view some his available works available for purchase at The Sottsas Store
