Cartier Design viewed by Ettore Sottsass presents for the first time a special selection of objects from The Cartier Collection, displayed in individual showcases created by Italian designer Ettore Sottsass.
Cartier, one of the world´s most renowned creators of jewelry, has been making brilliantly crafted, luxurious designs since 1847. Although its main focus has been providing jewelry and accessories to their clientele, the firm has also maintained a private collection of outstanding works from the 19th and 20th centuries. Numbering 1200 objects, the collection also includes drawings and watercolors as well as other related materials. The collection is not accessible to the public, and is not in a museum environment. Many of the pieces were acquired by Cartier on the open market, and are one-of-a-kind.
