Bacterio | Ettore Sottsass

Bacterio by Ettore Sottsass is the iconic pattern of the Memphis movement.
Bacterio B-W

This is the reason behind Sottsass’s experimentation with laminates, which was later taken up by the entire Memphis group. The idea of ‘bacterio’, along with that of other designs, derives from common, everyday materials and objects such as terrazzo, chain mesh and sponges. For Bacterio, Sottsass detailed the surface structure and shape of a Buddhist temple in Madurai, India, which he then abstracted into a field of black squiggles.

Ettore Sottsass

An eclectic figure in the Italian design scene, he began his career in Milan in 1947. He devoted himself to research and formal experimentation in art, architecture, design and literature. In the 1970s, he was one of the leading figures in radical architecture and was among the founders of the ‘Global Tools’ school of free individual creativity, contributing to the magazines Domus and Casabella. He was the creator of Memphis, one of the most interesting phenomena in the field of furniture and object design. His works and critical interventions are published in leading international architecture and design magazines and are documented in essays and publications dedicated to him.
