Designer, architect, writer, poet, Ettore Sottsass Jr. (Innsbruck, Austria, 1917 - Milan, 2007) is the very embodiment of the absolute creator. Instigator of a "methodology of doubt", he was a pioneer in every period of his life. Claiming an emotional experience of objects, furniture is for him the "exercise in architecture" par excellence, an instrument of experimentation that is both formal and spatial.
