Richard Sapper, edited by Jonathan Olivares, is a definitive study of the life and work of the internationally acclaimed designer Richard Sapper. Based on more than fifty hours of conversation between Sapper and Olivares, the book comprises three parts : a photo essay of Sapper in his living and working environments taken by Ramak Fazel ; an oral history that explores Sapper's methods, motives, and the work produced over his entire career ; and a visual chronology, featuring all of Sapper's products-including the famous IBM ThinkPad laptops, the Tizio lamp, the Brionvega radio and television, and the Alessi espresso machine and kettle-events from his personal and professional life, exhibitions, photographs, writings, and significant publications on his work.
The product of an inter-generational conversation, the book offers a fresh perspective on Sapper's work, and extracts theses and tools from his career that have lasting relevance for the practice of design today.

Richard Sapper (1932-2015) was born in Munich, graduated with a degree in Business from the University of Munich, and was based in Milan from the 1950s onward. Considered one of the most influential industrial designers of his generation, his work synthesizes formal simplicity and rigor, technical understanding, and poetic and humorous inquiry. He has worked across all scales, from family-owned enterprises such as Alessi to large corporations such as IBM, as well as on a great breadth of products from kitchen appliances and furniture to computer systems and automobiles.
Sapper was the recipient of numerous international design awards such as the Raymond Loewy Foundation's Lucky Strike award, and ten Compasso d'Oro awards. His work is featured in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York ; Victoria and Albert Museum and Design Museum in London ; and Die Neue Sammlung in Munich. Jonathan Olivares (1981) was born in Boston, graduated with a degree in industrial design from Pratt Institute, and is based in Los Angeles.
His work in the fields of industrial and spatial design engages a legacy of form and technology, and asks to be used rather than observed. Recent projects include the Aluminum Bench, for Zahner (2015) ; the Vitra Workspace, an interactive office showroom for Vitra (2015) ; and the Aluminum Chair, for Knoll (2012). Olivares' work has been published internationally, and he has been the recipient of the Compasso d'Oro award and grants from the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts.
