Vitra Desing Museum - Miniature Collection Miniature Seggiolina da Pranzo, Sottsass Sottsass, 1980 Seggiolina da Pranzo/ Sottsass, 1980 Wood, laminate, steel, scale 1: 6 , 81 x 140 x 76 mmEver since the 1950s, Ettore Sottsass has been known for his provocative, pioneering designs. It is safe to say that he is largely responsible for Italy leading the way in the international design world. He worked together with other Italian designers, to elaborate a design theory based on the new conditions created by the age of electronic mass media. His designs for laminate pattern combine graphic or geometric structures with imitation wood or marble, African symbols, comic-strip motifs and agressive colors. Sottsass designed the Seggiolina da Pranzo for »Alchimia« in 1980. The somewhat restained colors and pattern support the central design element, the two grips on the back-rest. Freed from their original function, these grips, together with the sharp-edged cubes and the saccharine pastels of the laminate, blend to form one unit. L/H/W : 81mm/140mm/76mm Is a bit round of the edges, patern start to peel off, per total is in a good condition- was in storage for very long time (unknown period) No wodden case or booklet
