The Pilastro stool is part of the "Kartell goes Sottsass - A Tribute to Memphis" collection, launched to pay tribute to the movement founded by design master Ettore Sottsass. Pilastro stands out for its versatility: it can be used either as a stool or as a side table. With its rounded shapes and range of colours, Pilastro brings a playful, cheerful touch to any interior.
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.
