Ettore Sottsass Design Metaphors

September 29 2023 – September 15 2024

The series of exhibitions dedicated to Ettore Sottsass continues in the Sala Sottsass, home since January 2021 to the permanent installation of Casa Lana – the interior of a private residence designed by Sottsass around the mid-1960s in Milan, faithfully reconstructed at Triennale and accessible to the public thanks to a donation by Barbara Radice Sottsass. Design Metaphors is the fourth exhibition. It brings together a series of photographs taken by Sottsass between 1972 and 1978 on the subject of architecture, design and living.
