Design Icons Lecture Series: Richard Sapper May 16, 2008

"Richard Sapper has worked for several decades producing highly influential and iconic designs helping to establish the genre of ‘techno-functionalism’. In the 60s his working relationship with Marco Zanuso led to notable designs included the rounded portable Doney 14 television (1962), and the ground breaking compact folding Grillo telephone for Siemens (1965). Other examples of Sapper’s design achievements include the enormously successful ‘Tizio’ high-tech work lamp (1972), the ‘Bollitore’ whistling kettle for Alessi (1983) and the revolutionary Thinkpad laptops for IBM."
