Iconic Designer: Ettore Sottsass, a legend in the design world, is best known for founding the Memphis Group in 1981, a revolutionary movement that redefined modern design. His work pushed boundaries, incorporating unconventional shapes, bold colors, and eclectic influences.

Premium Craftsmanship: Manufactured by Zanotta, an Italian company renowned for producing high-quality furniture, this table is a symbol of Italian craftsmanship.

Conversation Piece: With its wavy, sculptural legs and its harmonious combination of design elements, this table makes a bold yet tasteful statement in any dining or living space.

Sottsass’ career spanned architecture, furniture, and industrial design, but he gained fame in the 1960s as the head designer for Olivetti, where he created iconic products like the bright red Valentine typewriter.

He founded the Memphis Group in the early 1980s, challenging the rigid, functionalist ethos of modernism with playful, colorful, and boundary-breaking designs.

Sottsass believed design was about creating joyful, human-centered experiences. His works are characterized by an emotional depth and cultural richness, drawing from influences as diverse as ancient mythology, pop art, and contemporary technology.

This Filicudi table perfectly encapsulates Sottsass’ philosophy, offering a rare chance to own a piece of history that is as functional as it is artistic. Don’t miss the opportunity to make this stunning creation yours.
