"synthesis 45" designed by ettore sottsass in 1973 is one of these series: since the ’60s has changed the organization and the the way to work in the office from here comes the need to redefine the workplace and furnishings. Sottsass, motivated by the revolutionary ideas of adriano olivetti, responds to this need by creating the "synthesis 45" line: the office becomes a free landscape and the production environment becomes more stimulating and positive.
the focus is on simple shapes, the functionality of the objects, and their modularity, which make it possible to customize the furnishing compositions. The "45 series" has just been identified as a complete set of office furniture, certainly innovative, very stylish, refined and rigorous.
“i tried to catch, how i could, a new vitality and to achieve the shapes, the symbols that could represent the multiplication of images of the century and the transition from intellectual organizations to a kind of pure vital energy “.
