International designer and architect Ettore Sottsass designed only seven homes during his storied career. One is for sale in Hawaii.
He was known for bold colors and also designed furniture, home items, and iconic innovations, including a typewriter for“Every part of that house is a work of art," Otto says."Everywhere you look, something [is] designed by Sottsass.”
Indeed, the architect even designed the home's custom-made furnishings, dishes, silverware, and lamps.“He actually came over during the building of the house and designed the landscaping and picked the plants,” Otto explains.Chris Archer/ Kupono PhotographyThe furnishings are available for sale separately, but Otto notes that the seller hopes the buyer chooses to purchase them.
“There's just no way I could see it being separated—it belongs together," Otto insists."It's one museum piece. It’s one work of art. To take the interior design out of it wouldn't make any sense at all. It would be a tragedy if it was purchased without all of the interior." The whimsical home, which has three bedrooms and 2.5 baths, was built by Sottsass because of an existing relationship with the homeowners, according to the listing agent.
“The owners are actually designers themselves, and they were in that world of design,” Otto says. “The owners say this home should really be a museum at some point. ... They’re very passionate about it.”Bathroom
