Description
With Casablanca, Ettore Sottsass broke the rules of interior design by creating a non-conformist object with a strong, expressive form, enhanced by original colours and patterns printed on laminated plastic. In 1981, after years of functional minimalism, ornament returned and became an integral part of the object. A bold, sculptural piece of furniture, Casablanca is also a functional storage unit featuring shelves and storage units closed by doors and drawers. Its asymmetrical design and captivating graphic motifs make it a centrepiece in any room, from the living room to the bedroom.

Born in Innsbruck, Austria, in 1917, he studied architecture at the Turin Polytechnic, graduating in 1939. Ettore Sottsass is considered to be one of the most influential designers of the 20th century. He began his career as an architect in his father's firm, and together they set about rebuilding their country after the war. Generally building only social housing, Ettore Sottsass turned to design, failing to realise his ambitions in architecture, and decided to open his own agency in Milan in 1947. A master of colour and lighting effects, he combines architecture and design. During his career, Sottsass collaborated with many designers, including George Nelson in New York and Olivetti in Italy. He creates furniture and lighting for Artemide and table accessories for Alessi. With the Callimaco floor lamp, Ettore Sottsass created one of the great classics of design.

MEMPHIS MILANO
Memphis Milano is an Italian design group founded in Milan in 1980, bringing together architects, creators, and designers. Its founder, Ettore Sottsass, chose the name Memphis because it refers both to the Tennessee city where Elvis Presley was born and to the capital of ancient Egypt. Memphis Milano introduced a new form of expression through design. The movement gained significant recognition after showcasing 55 pieces, including furniture, lamps, and ceramic objects, at the Arc’74 gallery during the Milan Furniture Fair in 1981. Memphis Milano draws inspiration from the radical design movement of the 1960s.
