The Mettsass Table by Ettore Sottsass is a commanding presence—bold, architectural, and unapologetically red. Designed for BD in 1972, nearly a decade before he co-founded the Memphis movement, this striking piece defies convention with its geometric composition of flat steel sheets and high-impact colour. A radical departure from the Bauhaus minimalism of its time, Mettsass is more than a table; it is an artistic statement, both functional and emotionally charged. Reissued in 2012 and still in production, it remains a sculptural centrepiece—powerful, dynamic, and always contemporary.
