Cross of Merit (Order of Merit, Germany) Compasso d'oro Lucky Strike Designer Award [de] Honorary Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts Honorary Doctorate, University of North Carolina Lifetime Achievement Award, German Design Council
Richard Sapper (30 May 1932 – 31 December 2015) was a German industrial designer who was based in Milan for much of his career. He is considered to be one of the most influential figures of post-war Italian design. His products typically feature a combination of technical innovation, simplicity of form, and an element of wit and surprise.[1][2][3]
Sapper received numerous awards and distinctions, including 11 Compasso d'Oro awards,[4] the Raymond Loewy Foundation's Lucky Strike Designer Award [de], and the German Order of Merit. Examples of his work are held by museums such as the Victoria and Albert (V&A) and Design Museum in London, the Pompidou Center in Paris, the ADI Design Museum in Milan, and the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York – which counts over 17 of his designs in its collection.[1][2][3][5][6]
