Written by Sottsass himself, this book focuses on his inspired ceramics created between 1956 and the present day. More than 100 superb color plates bring to life a diverse and expansive collection of objects - many of them one-of-a-kind - that are decorative and functional, imaginative and innovative, colorful, and visually exciting. Sottsass describes his working methods and motivations, a unique view into the creative mind of one of the most important and influential designers of modern times.
