Featuring over 100 full-page colour illustrations - photographs, architectural drawings, sketches, collages - this monograph explores Sottsass's work in all his many fields of activity, including his world-famous office products for Olivetti, and his colourful Memphis furniture.

Barbara Radice is the editor of "Terrazzo" and a regular contributor to several Italian art and design magazines. She was co-author of "Sottsass Associates" (1989).
