Ettore Sottsass (Innsbruck, 1917 - Milan, 2007) was one of the most famous Italian architects and designers of all times. He became defined by his vision to move away from the orthodoxy of functionalism and focus more on emotion, feeling, and beauty in his work. Sottsass was also the co-founder of the radical 1980s design group Memphis, known for its playful furniture designs, often using asymmetrical shapes and bright colors. He was always motivated by a desire to reach deeper beneath the surface of the objects he designed, and to bring out their poetry. "If there is a reason why design exists, the reason is so that it can give or restore to instruments and things the power of sacredness that people need" Sottsass once said.
