Sottsass (? – ?)
Ettore Sottsass (1917-2007) was a revolutionary Italian architect & designer known for pioneering postmodernism with the Memphis Group. His bold colors, geometric forms, and playful furniture challenged conventions and continue to inspire.
The design is just a few of the many patterns Sottsass developed for Abet Laminati, the Italian plastic laminate manufacturer. Sottsass began experimenting with the material on his Superboxes in 1966, and he designed trade fair booths for Abet in 1970. The laminates became the main palette from which Memphis designers based their furniture veneers and textiles. The pattern derives from common, everyday materials and objects: terrazzo, chain link, and sponges.
