BACTERIO - ETTORE SOTTSASS By Abet Laminati
Collection: Design Edition
Designer: Ettore Sottsass
Type: Decorative laminate
Bacterio is the reason from which the experimentation on laminates by Sottsass and later by the entire Memphis group began. The idea of the "bacterio" together with those one of other designs, derives from common and everyday materials and objects such as terrazzo, chain mail and sponges. For Bacterio, Sottsass detailed the surface texture and form of a Buddhist temple in Madurai, India, which he then abstracted into a field of black doodles. Love for beauty, passion for research, attention to change and initiative: special editions born thanks to the collaboration with well-known designers, architects, artists and stylists. Abet Laminati was the first company to foresee that the laminate surface could also lend itself to being enriched with abstract and original graphic elaborations.
