“Esprit Showroom, Düsseldorf” is an architectural artwork created by Ettore Sottsass in 1985. This piece exemplifies the genre of architecture and showcases Sottsass’s distinctive design sensibilities.
The artwork depicts a striking and modern architectural structure characterized by its bold use of color and geometric forms. The prominent blue tiles adorning the upper facade contrast sharply against the warm red pillars and the white stone surfaces. This combination of vibrant hues and diverse materials creates a visually compelling composition. The structure utilizes a variety of shapes, including rectangular prisms and cylindrical columns, which add depth and complexity to the overall design. The entrance is marked by a series of steps leading up to an inviting awning, supported by a combination of black and white columns. Furthermore, the overall design speaks to a harmonious blend of functionality and aesthetic innovation, thereby encapsulating the architectural style of Ettore Sottsass.
