His body of work included furniture, jewelry, glass, lighting, home objects and office machine design, as well as many buildings and interiors. 'From clothing chain stores to computers, architecture to office furniture, Sottsass’s work found its way into almost every area of contemporary life. Yet the Austrian-born, Italian-based designer also maintained an interest in more traditional decorative arts. “Sottsass himself always had the ability to work simultaneously on glass and jewellery pieces and limited editions that had a very different approach from the industrial work ”...Sottsass was first introduced to glass after he moved to Milan in 1946. His first glass object – a lined spherical vase, which was probably displayed at the eighth Milan Triennale – is dated 1947. He continued to work with the medium throughout his artistic life, collaborating with some of the most important glassworks of the time, such as Vistosi, Toso Vetri d’Arte, Gino Cenedese e Figlio, and Venini'.
