The message that Mirabili intends to portay involves well-known artist and designers, selected for their particular gifts and their poetic world, lending an innovative and sensitive contribution to the cultural image of the habitat as “Art of Living”.‎ It is a collection which wants to communicate with art, by means of visions and emotions: a quality that justifies its meaningful presence in museums, art galleries and in collections of qualified collectors.‎ New free art is becoming an eeryday item, even though is it abstract and poetic; it is changeable in that is applied without prejudices and circulated without inibitions through living spaces.‎ It corresponds ever more to the idea and ideals of need.‎ It enters dwellings not merely to be looked at, but also to interact in the life and with the wishes of people; not only to decorate but also to animate; it cannot be confined to a frame or a stand, and its challenge is to introduce fragments of aesthetic utopia beyond the temple of the Muses, into the home of man.‎ MIRABILI was created in the mid eighties as the synthesis of the experiences and perceptions of Sergio Cammilli, a protagonist of Italian design of the sixties.‎ Interaction with other experts and artists gave life to a theoretical, practical and productive laboratory, as an initial and highly original phenomenon in renewing the Art of Living with a modern feeling for the old.‎

Ettore Sottsass was born in Innsbruck, Austria, in 1917. In 1939 he graduated in architecture at the polytechnic in Turin.
In the postwar period he moved to Milan where he opened a professional studio of architecture and design. Already in the early fifties his international role in the renewal of planning culture was recognized. In 1958 he began cooperating with Olivetti as a design consultant which lasted more than twenty years. In 1959, among other things, he designed the Elea, the first Italian electronic calculator for Olivetti, and afterwards, several peripherals, machines for calculation systems and electric and portable typewriters, such as Praxis, Tekne, Editor and Valentine. During these years he started a long research on the use of ceramics to give form to objects conceived as catalysts of perception and cultural and psychic attention, that was able to urge the conscience of their gestures with their presence, and of attitude as regards the gestures which are performed using them.

In the 1950’s his cooperation as a design consultant with Poltronova increased such that he realized an experimental furniture series in laminated plastic with coloured strips, called Superbox, and another series in printed fibreglass, well-known as Mobili Grigi. In 1967, together with Fernanda Pivano and Allen Ginsberg, he founded the vanguard magazine Pianeta Fresco, for which well known leading American and European authors collaborate. In 1972 he participated in the exhibition “Italy”: the New Domestic Landscape” organized by the Museum of Modern Art of New York. His works, ceramics and furniture are present in the collections of the most important museums, such as the MOMA of New York, the Denver Art Museum, the Stockholm National Museum, the Glasgow Art Gallery Museum, the Montréal Museé Des Arts Décoratifs and the Pompidou Centre of Paris, which dedicated him a wide retrospective show in 1994.

Ettore Sottsass continues his personal research activities with projects, writings, drawings and the creation of furniture, objects and architecture.
