There is a planet is an exhibition (and a book) that opens at the Triennale Design Museum in Milan. The retrospective takes up nine rooms for as many topics. Each theme / room with its group of works is accompanied by short quotes from writings to closely follow the path of the engagement and the multifaceted activity of Sottsass: architecture, design, design, photography, painting, objects, furniture, sculptures, pottery, editorial activity, writings.



We have the great pleasure and honor to propose on our shop the collections that Sottsass designed for Bitossi Ceramiche with the artist Aldo Londi, then artistic director of the Manifattura.The professional relationship between the two artists then became, in time, a solid friendship based on mutual esteem and respect. They were animated by the same search for modernity, a desire to start not just a new "style", but a "way of life".Of Sottsass you will find the collections BICOLORE, COLORE and SCALINI.
