Ettore Sottsass Livres

France collectable book

Nelson (1908-1986), a central figure in the early period of modern design, lives on in the continuing influence of his innovations and contributions (among them, the bubble lamp, the sling sofa, the storage wall, the shopping mall, the open-plan office system). Abercrombie had access to Nelson's office archives and personal papers, and he interviewed more than 70 of Nelson's friends and colleagues to prepare this biography, which includes photos representing the range of his work and extended quotations from his published and unpublished writings.
