Ettore Sottsass (1917–2007) was an Italian architect and designer whose career ran from Olivetti office machines to the founding of Memphis in 1981. His partnership with the Tuscan furniture maker Poltronova, which began in 1958, gave him rare creative freedom: there he developed his first furniture, experimented with laminates and color, and produced pieces such as the Ultrafragola mirror and the Superbox wardrobes that anticipated postmodernism.
