Ettore Sottsass has been a towering presence in Italian design for more than half a century. He has produced an enormous breadth of work across many disciplines, including glass and ceramics for Alessi and electronic products for Olivetti, but is best known as founder of the groundbreaking 1980’s design group Memphis. To mark his 90th birthday in 2007 the Design Museum exhibited Sottsass’ most iconic designs in Ettore Sottsass – Work in Progress from 29 March to 10 June 2007.
