Designer
Ettore Sottsass (1917–2007) was an influential Italian designer and architect, who became famous for his colourful, modernist designs and experimental, radical attitude. He was one of the founders of the design group Memphis, and in 1980 he founded his own agency Sottsass Associati, which today has offices in London and Milan. Sottsass designed many products for the Italian design brand Alessi, and his works are included in the Alessi 100 Values Collection, which was launched to celebrate Alessi's centennial.

Unfortunately they look very cheap. I got them to go with a gorgeous modern lucite ice bucket -as a wedding present- and would never give these tongs as a present- Very disappointed. Most Scandinavian products are great design and quality. These seem like $10 tongs.
