An in-depth study of the work of German-born industrial designer
Richard Sapper, most famous for designs such as the Tizio lamp and
the Brionvega radio. Richard Sapper (1932-2015) a German-born
designer who was based in Milan most of his working career, is
considered one of the most important designers of his generation.
Within his lifetime, he received numerous international design
accolades, including ten prestigious Compasso d'Oro awards. Sapper
developed and designed a wide variety of products, ranging from
ships and cars, to computers and electronics as well as furniture
and kitchen appliances. His clients included Alessi, Artemide,
B&B Italia, Brionvega, FIAT, Heuer, Kartell, Knoll, IBM,
Lenovo, Lorenz Milano, Magis, Molteni, Pirelli and many others.
This investigation of Sapper's work, based on over forty hours of
interviews with the designer Jonathan Olivares, studies his
objects, the circumstances that shaped them and the resulting
ideals that emerge. The inter-generational conversation explores
themes that reoccur throughout Sapper's oeuvre, and which have a
particular importance for a younger generation of designers and
those with a desire to understand Sapper's work from a fresh
perspective. An illustrated timeline, packed with images from
Sapper's personal archives, reveals the incredible variety and
technical brilliance of his work. Richard Sapper died in Milan on
31 December 2015. Designed by SM Associati, the agency of Marco
Velardi from Apartamento magazine, the book opens with an image
essay featuring candid commissioned photography by Ramak Fazel.
