The iconic Ettore Sottsass, known for his influential role in the Memphis Group, is experiencing a resurgence of interest with the unveiling of the exhibition “Et Tu, Ettore” by Lee F. Mindel. This exhibition, housed at Galerie56 in New York’s Tribeca neighborhood and running until May 14, offers an extensive look at the multifaceted work of the 20th-century Italian architect and designer. The showcase features various pieces from his diverse portfolio, such as the uniquely designed Cabinet No. 82, the whimsical Odalisca totem, and artworks from his Geology ceramic series. Notably, the exhibition also presents rare ceramic prototypes from the 1960s, which have seldom been displayed to the public.

Alyssa Kapito unveils a deeply personal furniture collection
In her recent endeavor to redesign her family’s Upper East Side apartment, New York-based AD100 designer Alyssa Kapito found herself craving not just vintage charm but also a selection of new pieces to integrate seamlessly with her curated collection.

This new assortment follows her first collection, Edition 1, which included limited-run Murano glass vases crafted in collaboration with Marcantonio Brandolini d’Adda, CEO and art director of Laguna~B.
