The brilliant architect and designer Ettore Sottsass (1917–2007) designed glass wares from 1947 until the end of his career. Published on the 100th anniversary of Sottsass’ birth, this catalogue raisonné documents the entire period of his glass and crystal oeuvre - from the series he designed in the 1970s for Vistosi, to the symbolic forms of the 1990s, to the stunning constructions for the Millennium House in Qatar and the famous Kachinas. The book’s wealth of images, analysis of design and Painting, examination of the works’ cultural and artistic context and reproduction of works (including many unpublished pieces) make this volume the first thorough study on Ettore Sottsass’ works in glass and crystal.
