Richard Sapper, Edited by Jonathan Olivares Book
About the Item
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.
