To learn more about the vase's authenticity, please refer to the accompanying documentation. Ettore Sottsass, a revered architect and designer, was born in Innsbruck in 1917 and earned his degree in architecture at the Politecnico di Torino in 1939. He played a key role in the radical design movements of the 1970s and 1980s and founded the Memphis Group in 1981. Sottsass is the recipient of numerous international awards, including the Golden Compass in 1959, and is credited with designing the first laptop, "Valentina," for Olivetti. Although he passed away in 2007, Memphis Milano, the group he founded, continues to carry on his legacy. Memphis Milano, a cultural sensation of the 1980s, disrupted traditional creative and commercial approaches to design. Under Sottsass's leadership, the group pioneered new concepts, expressions, and forms through the use of innovative materials and patterns, pushing the limits of the industry. Today, Memphis remains a symbol of cutting-edge design and has had a lasting impact on various fields of production. Other important information about the Erina vase includes its dimensions (H 19.75 inches), the materials used (blown glass), and the fact that prices do not include VAT. When purchasing products from Memphis Milano, customers can expect to receive forms of authenticity that contain the designer's signature and the year of the product's original design. Additionally, glass and silver items bear an engraving that reflects this information.
