“When we imagine glass objects, we experience a very special emotion: we imagine light and colours that cannot be touched, and then – all of a sudden – there is light and there are colours, yet we still cannot touch them; they remain weightless, they are neither cool nor warm, they live only in our imagination.
“All this gives rise to a special emotion.”
Ettore Sottsass Pendant lamp composed of a sapphirecoloured blown glass circular element and a CRYSTAL disc.
The structure is varnished white metal.
Designer
Upon concluding his studies at the Politecnico di Torino in 1939, Ettore Sottsass dedicated himself exclusively to the design of furniture, objects, and ceramics. He participated with his creations in the periodical Triennale exhibitions in Milan from 1947 to 1960.
In 1958, he started to work as a design consultant for Olivetti and received several acknowledgments for his works.
In 1976, the Internationale Design Zentrum in Berlin organised a retrospective exhibition dedicated to his works, which was later exhibited at the Biennale in Venice and at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. Sottsass designed various lamps and objects for VENINI, from 1988 and until the very last years of his life.
