The exhibition, titled 'Ettore Sottsass — When Magic Begins, Design is Born,' runs until October 4. Born in 1917 in Innsbruck, Austria, Sottsass created numerous masterpieces for Olivetti and Porto Rotondo in the 1950s. In the 1980s, he founded the international designer collective 'Memphis' and caused a sensation with his bold designs.
