Friday 16th May 2008 Speaker: Richard Sapper Taken from a series of 4 Parts: WATCH THE LECTURE IN FULL @: designicons.harrods.com Richard Sapper has worked for several decades producing highly-influential and iconic designs helping to establish the genre of 'techno-functionalism'. In the 1960s his working relationship with Marco Zanuso led to notable designs including the rounded portable Doney 14 television (1962) and the ground-breaking compact folding Grillo telephone for Siemens (1965). Other examples of Sapper's design achievements include the enormously successful Tizio high-tech work lamp (1972), the Bollitore whistling kettle for Alessi (1983) and the world-beating Thinkpad laptops for IBM.
