Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The PIN–UP Interviews is a compilation of over 50 of the most fascinating interviews from PIN-UP magazine since its first issue was published in October 2006. Serious, yet accessible, featuring the elegant and modern aesthetic PIN-UP’s readers have come to expect, there is no comparable source available for such a stunning array of contemporary design talent collected in one place. It is indispensable to all lovers of today’s brightest architectural and design ideas. The PIN–UP Interviews is the first book produced by PIN–UP, the award-winning, New York-based, biannual architecture and design magazine. Cheekily dubbing itself the “Magazine for Architectural Entertainment,” PIN–UP features interviews with architects, designers, and artists, and presents their work informally—as a fun assembly of ideas, stories, and conversations, all paired with cutting-edge photography and artwork. Both raw and glossy, this “cult design zine” (The New York Times) is a nimble mix of genres and themes, finding inspiration in the high and the low by casting a refreshingly playful eye on rare architectural gems, amazing interiors, smart design, and that fascinating area where those spheres connect with contemporary art. Included in The PIN-UP Interviews are the architects David Adjaye, Shigeru Ban, Ricardo Bofill, David Chipperfield, Zaha Hadid, Junya Ishigami, Rem Koolhaas, Peter Marino, Richard Meier, and Ettore Sottsass; artists Daniel Arsham, Cyprien Gaillard, Simon Fujiwara, Oscar Tuazon, Francesco Vezzoli, Boris Rebetez, Retna, Robert Wilson, and Andro Wekua; and designers Rafael de Cárdenas, Martino Gamper, Rick Owens, Hedi Slimane, Bethan Laura Wood, and Clémence Seilles.

Download or read book Ettore Sottsass There is a Planet Texts and Photographs written by Barbara Radice and published by Cataloghi di mostre. This book was released on 2017 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Electa, with the Triennale Design Museum in Milan, publishes a new project proposed by Barbara Radice for the centenary of Ettore Sottsass' birth and ten years after his death (Innsbruck 1917-Milan 2007). Sottsass worked on the There is a Planet project in collaboration with Nanae Umeda for the German publisher Wasmuth in the 1990s.00It features photographs taken in 40 years of his travels around the world, focused on living and the human presence on the planet in general. There are pictures of uncontaminated nature (views of rivers, forests, sea expanses, rocks and strongly aesthetic features studied close-up, from Algeria to Polynesia, the Caribbean and his beloved Eolie islands) as well as architecture, houses, people and unusual, profoundly human situations. All are grouped by theme and introduced with sketches and comments on life. The Sottsass project ? which gathered these pictures in five groups, under five different titles and with as many texts ? remained unfinished and the book was never published. Conceived by the great master, There is a Planet is now being reproposed, convinced as we are that it provides readers with important insight into the original and radical angle from which Ettore Sottsass viewed the world.00Exhibition: Triennale Design Museum at the Galleria dell'Architettura, Milan, Italy (15.09.2017-11.03.2018).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The incredible life story of one of the 20th century's most important designers, who knew everyone from Hemingway to Picasso. Ettore Sottsass and the Poetry of Things chronicles the life and times of one of the most important, prolific, and, above all, interesting designers and architects of the 20th century. Sottsass (1917-2007), originally trained as an architect and worked as a design consultant for Olivetti, where he developed the iconic Valentine typewriter, before going on to found the Memphis Group in the 1980s, ushering in an era of influential designs in furniture, ceramics and lighting that continue to inspire design minds today with their flamboyance and use of color. Author Deyan Sudjic (Director of London's Design Museum) does not limit his narrative to an examination of Sottsass' iconic designs. Though a native son of Italy, Sottsass cast a shadow of influence on the entire world, traveling extensively over the course of his life and interacting with some of the 20th century's most iconic figures, including Picasso, Hemingway and Allen Ginsberg. Sudjic's writing, complemented by unpublished personal photographs from Sottsass' archive, offers a unique view of Sottsass from the perspective of the world that surrounded him, recounting anecdotes of encounters between the designer and his famous contemporaries. The result is a unique and comprehensive portrait not only Sottsass but of the last 100 years of design in Italy and around the world. Features anecdotes of his encounters with the biggest creatives of the time, and details of his influences and inspirations, documenting the contemporary design scene both in Italy and abroad.

Download or read book Ettore Sottsass written by Ronald T. Labaco and published by Merrell. This book was released on 2006 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Ettore Sottsass: Architect and Designer - the first significant study of the work of Sottsass for over a decade - emphasizes the continuing diversity and innovation of his professional life while illuminating his personal design philosophy, his belief in the intimate relationship between design and the individual, and his fundamental humanity and joie de vivre. Drawing in particular on the work of the two decades since Sottsass left the Memphis collective, this book reassesses his relationship to Modernism and Postmodernism, analyzes the increasing importance to Sottsass of his own architectural practice, and considers both his acceptance and his rejection of the traditional use of materials. In a series of interviews specially undertaken for this book, Sottsass reflects on the cross-currents of ideas and influences that have guided his long career."--BOOK JACKET.
