all my favourites are going Sottsass passed away a couple of years back. Anyway along with the garden chair you don't get anymore ubiquitous than his school chair.
I thought he died in 2000? Never did like those bow-ties of his.
[Edit - Sorry, I clearly got the wrong end of the stick]
Great designer, good innings too,couldn't be much different than Sottsass really in his designs.
Think my wife knew I was the geek for her when she saw my chair design books!
a great loss to a world of design where so many are just feeble copies of the likes of dupre lafon etc
RD was one of the greats. RIP
I have his chairs and a sofa, I love it.
