Exhibition at the Centre Pompidou, Paris, 13 October 2021 - 3 Janvier 2022

Designer, architect, writer, poet, Ettore Sottsass Jr. (1917 - 2007) is the very embodiment of the absolute creator. Instigator of a "methodology of doubt", he was a pioneer in every period of his life. Claiming an emotional experience of objects, furniture is for him the "exercise in architecture" par excellence, an instrument of experimentation that is both formal and spatial.

This exhibition catalogue brings together a unique set of major historical pieces, and creates a dialogue between design objects and Sottsass's graphic research: drawings, installations, photographs, films are thus brought together from the collections of the Center Pompidou and thanks to loans from public collections.
