In Memoriam: Designer Ettore Sottsass





Designer Ettore Sottsass, whose tall blue vase for Habitat UK above sits next to my fireplace, has past away.

Here's Alice Rawsthorn's obit in IHT and Deyan Sudjic's obit in the Guardian.

More good reading - two interviews from Design Boom and Icon Eye.

Finally a picture of one of my favorite Sottsass designs (a real classic) which was issued on valentines day 1979
