Renowned designer of things colourful and plastic, Ettore Sotsass, died on Monday aged 90. As well as being an architect, he worked for Poltronova, Olivetti, Alessi and Artemide as a product designer. With Mario Bellini, he made the Olivetti typewriter in to something much sexier than the Microsoft keyboards we have to put up with today.
