Designer, Ettore Sottsass, harbors similar doubts. Barbara Radice,
his fiancée (at this time), describes Ettore's uncertainty
in these matters:
He is so full of doubts about everything and everyone and
still more about himself that he never says yes or no but
always something in between. That’s why he never makes
any decision unless it is absolutely inevitable... ‘so-called
decisions’ are always ‘schematic things,’abrupt
interruptions or interferences in the weft of existence.1
Despite his indecisiveness, Ettore exudes confidence on the
following point:
‘Now that we have almost destroyed the planet,’ he
says, ‘the political power of designers is very small -
almost non-existent. If we are lucky, we can reach a superficial
state of social life, we can try to communicate something.’2
