Released in conjunction with the 2017 exhibition "Ettore Sottsass: There is a planet" at the prestigious Triennale Design Museum in Milan Italy.

At the heart of the piece is the Bacterio pattern's original had drawn sketch that reveals the master's hand, providing an intimate glimpse into his creative process.

The back of the t-shirt is adorned with another hand drawing by Sottsass, alongside the exhibition title "Ettore Sottsass: There is a planet." This is complemented by the smaller logos of the "Triennale Design Museum" and "Abet Laminati," symbolizing the collaboration that brought Sottsass's legacy to a wider audience.
