Ettore Sottsass and The Social Factory

DESCRIPTION

A radical look at a radical designer, this book locates Sottsass's work within the larger landscape of postwar political thinking and economic change.

Miami ICA’s monograph (exhibition catalog) has a lot to offer every kind of Sottsass fan, from the intellectual to the aesthete. It includes 12 scholarly, thought-provoking essays that contextualize Sottsass within the larger landscape of postwar political and economic change, each offering new ways to think about the intersection of Sottsass’s life, work, and milieu. The catalog is also perfect for a coffee table book/object in bright colors with substantial illustrations documenting the long arc of Sottsass’s career.
