RADICE, Barbara. Ettore Sottsass: Notes sur la Couleur.

(No place): Abet Laminati, 1993. First edition. Softcover. 21cm by 16cm. 91 pages. Interesting volume presenting Sottsass’s reflections on colour theory with numerous illustrative examples drawn from his work and design thinking. The book presents colour not merely as a visual element but as a cultural and emotional language — an idea central to Sottsass’s practice across architecture, furniture, ceramics, and graphic design. Its graphic design reflects Sottsass’s own aesthetic, with coloured squares and thoughtful typographic layout integrated into a sequence of images and texts — an approach that resonates with Memphis Group principles. This a very good copy, in card covers with paper jacket and obi.
