Judd created his first vertical stack sculpture in 1965, just one year before Sottsass designed his Superbox series. At the time, Sottsass claimed inspiration from the radical materials and construction of Parisian fashion, but he later wrote about Judd and even named a table in homage to him. Sottsass and Judd each explored Minimalism and the effect of objects on their environment, but from strikingly different vantage points. Sottsass created functional objects with the aspiration of minimalist sculpture, while Judd’s sculptures use the language and materials of serial production and functionalist design.
