Summary:

"Sottsass' 10 years of collaboration with Poltronova, from 1960 to 1970, marked a period of almost total freedom for him, and had a strong impact on his work. It was a moment both rich in creations and decisive in establishing the designer's aesthetics that can be now discovered in this book, through an analysis of Sottsass' work, advertising photos of the time, annotated sketches, and personal photographs"-- Provided by publisher.
"De 1960 à 1970, les dix années de collaboration entre le designer et Poltronova marquent une période de liberté presque totale pour l'artiste dans un contexte politique et sociale troublé. Un moment à la fois riche en créations et décisif dans l'établissement de l'esthétisme de l'artiste. Ces dix ans sont aujourd'hui mis à l'honneur dans cet ouvrage présentant travers une analyse du travail de Sottsass, des prises de vues d'époque pour la publicité, des croquis annotés et des photographies personnelles du designer"-- Provided by publisher.
