THERE IS A PLANET 15/09/2017 – 11/03/2018

Marking the centenary of the birth of Ettore Sottsass (Innsbruck 1917-2007 Milan),
the Triennale Design Museum is presenting a monographic exhibition devoted to
him in the spaces of the Galleria dell’Architettura. It will be accompanied by a
book and a catalogue. The title of the exhibition, and of the book, There is a Planet,
is that of a project that Sottsass started in the 1990s for the German publisher
Wasmuth, but never completed. The project for the book, now published by Electa,
was to form five groups of photographs taken by Sottsass on his travels around the
world, each with its own title and essay.
