The artwork, titled “Enorme Phone,” was created by Ettore Sottsass in 1986 and belongs to the genre of design. This striking piece showcases Sottsass’s bold and distinctive approach to design, evident in the choice of colors and geometric forms.
The artwork features a telephone with an unconventional design. It is characterized by a tall, rectangular handset with a striking red top, which houses the speaker. Below, the main body of the device is a dark gray with a user interface comprising light blue circular buttons arranged in a grid layout. The lower part of the handset rests on a bright yellow base, creating a dynamic and eye-catching color contrast. The coiled cord connects the handset to a plain, dark gray rectangular base, reflecting a minimalist aesthetic. The word “ENORME” is prominently embossed on the front of the device, further accentuating its bold design.
