Ettore Sottsass was born in Innsbruck in 1917, he is known the
world over as one of the initiators of the revolution in architecture and design
which led away from the rigid functionalism of the years prior to and following
the Second World War. A great and influential Maestro of Italian design, the
energy of his language and the vitality of his colour and line contrast sharply
with any intellectualism and rigidity.
