Review:

"I have been obsessed with the Italian architect and designer Sottsass and the Memphis Group he found all my life. I love everything about Sottsass's work - it's modern, optimistic, humorous, functional and intelligent. The designs in this book make me feel proud to be Italian."―Donatella Versace

"[Sottsass] has a quirky sculptural presence all its own and comes in a very Sottsass pistachio ice cream cover (with blink-making zebra stripe endpapers). Here is a suitable memorial to an exceptional life: eclectic, serious and detailed as well as delightful, surprising, and utterly inspiring. The production is faultless, and superlative pictures illustrate, both precisely and anecdotally, the vast range of Sottsass's work: buildings, furniture, paintings, jewelry, ceramics, glass, graphics, office equipment."―The Spectator (UK)

"The book is a totemic object itself. In a world where it can seem as if designers are trying to fit everything into a monochrome package the size of your hand, Sottsass is everything but that. No cardboard, indeed."―The New York Times Book Review

"Lavishly illustrated... Cleverly designed... Sottsass is one of the latest great coffee table books."―LOUIN ArtInfo

"Phillipe Thome's new book, Sottsass, surveys the career of one of Italy's more distinguished 20th-century designers. But "distinguished" hardly fits Sottsass's striking yet playful output..."―ELLE Decor

"Stunning... Sottsass's work, as the book makes evident, is so vibrant and comprehensive that one feels caught in the spell of his creations."―Surface

"The book itself stands as a piece of art, beautifully designed from the bright bifold cover to all that lays within... Sottsass did it all and Thome presents it in a beautiful fashion. As one of the most significant visionaries in the field, Sottsass cannot go unstudied - and with this book, it's a delight to do so."―CoolHunting
