An unclassifiable creator, Ettore Sottsass (1917–2007) dreamed of becoming a painter and sculptor before becoming an architect. But it was in the field of design that he really made his mark: he designed the very first European computer, invented a new vocabulary for ceramics and glass... and at the age of 65, he became the embodiment of the new avant-garde of the 1980s with the creation of the Memphis group and its colorful furniture, which remains iconic to this day. His dynamic career, spanning architecture and design, industry and craftsmanship, poetry and metaphysics, left a unique and lasting mark on the 20th century.
