What's the complete name of this car and who 'designed' it?

Is it some sort of Fiat 126-based safety car proposal?

Sort of, but the main task is to figure out who has styled it?!

Fiat ESV ( experimental safety vehicle ), the 126 came after this car, I believe.
Dante Giacosa was the main designer at Fiat at the time.

Sorry, but that's a different car. The design was done by a man who usually hasn't been related to automotive design

So not the ESV...
But is it Fiat based?
Those look a lot like Fiat 500R/ early 126 wheels...
( before the 126 switched to the 98mm boltpattern )

Indeed Fiat 126 based.
I give you a close look to another creation of that mysterious designer:

From what I can find, that is the 1958 Transmaster 7 Transistor Radio
Client: La Rinascente.
And La Riascente was ( is?) a department store.
Was the car built for them?

I had not heard of Richard Sapper before.
I learned something, thanks.
He designed some cool stuff, that radio must have been really cuting edge in '58...
That Fiat, not so much...
Hard to beat the shape of a 500N / F/ or R.
