THIS IS EROTIK DESIGN. THE ETTORE SOTTSASS BOOK/S YOU MAY NEVER HAVE SEEN BEFORE. PUBLISHED IN 1996, THERE ARE FIVE BOOKS OF PHOTOGRAPHS, DESIGNS, DRAWINGS, AND WRITINGS IN THIS ONE CARD CASE. AND, YES, AS THE TITLE SUGGESTS, IT IS QUITE SEXY. IN A POSTMODERN WAY.

There is a book of all the books published by or about Ettore Sottsass. And there are five more of them in this one box.

This is one of them. A book of Sottsass' thoughts, memories and visions. In Italian text, which, given that it is the international language of great design, is fair enough.

This spread from NGISED DESIGN, a book of drawings of objects and furniture, all of which we would happily buy off-plan.

More eroticism! The book of photographs is full of brilliantly observed bathrooms from around the world.

This one we really LOVE a lot.

And then there is the book of inexplicably cut and paste pages that comes under the title 'il pensiero generale alla fine del secondo millennio'. This book is probably where the curiously EROTIK word of the title comes from.

Because Sottsass is generally considered more of an emotional designer. That's what sets him apart. A great love for shape and colour and an ability to merge seeing with feeling. This box of books has all of that. You can buy it on the red button below.
