Lot 22 | Seltenes Memphis Bücherregal "Suvretta" von Ettore Sottsass
Grünes und weißes sowie mit schwarz-weißem, sog. ´Viren-Muster` gestaltetes Laminat auf Holz. Gerader, rechteckig angelegter Korpus auf gekantetem Sockel. Vor leicht überstehender Rückwand breites Regalelement mit teilweise schräggestellten und gegenläufig angeordneten Buchstützen. Herstellerzeichen mit Künstlerangabe und Datierung 1981. Entwurf Ettore Sottsass, 1981. Hälfte 200 cm. 205 cm x 35 cm.
"Suvretta" war Bestandteil der ersten Memphis-Kollektion des gleichnamigen, 1981 von Sottsass und seinen Mitstreitern gegründeten Unternehmens und wurde im selben Jahr auf der Mailänder Möbelmesse dem Publikum präsentiert. Die Gruppe wandte sich frech gegen die hehren Werte des traditionellen Gestaltens und vermittelte mit ihren Entwürfen einen unbekümmerten Optimismus.
