Sottsass was the first in Italy to express, through his creations, the emerging ideas of counter design or radical design. These movements represented social criticism expressed through objects characterized by a strong experimentalism in materials, techniques and forms, in clear opposition to the rationalist style and common taste of the time. In an era dominated by the modernist movement, known for order, rigidity and the use of straight, clean lines.
