Richard Horn - Memphis - Objects, Furniture & Patterns. - 1986

Memphis - Objects, Furniture & Patterns. Contents see photo 4. Excellent condition. Extensively illustrated. (see photos) The Memphis Group was a group of interior designers from the 1981-1987 years, founded by Ettore Sottsass. The group opposed the tight functional rules of modernism and their ideas would leave a significant mark on the look of the eighties. The style is associated with postmodernism and drew its inspiration from pop art and Art Deco. The Memphis Group worked innovatively and challenged mainstream design. Their designs are characterized by the illogical combination of geometric shapes, bright colors and all sorts of patterns mixed together. From these came products such as the Casablanca and the Carlton cabinet. A number of well-known participants besides Ettore Sottsass were: Michele de Lucchi, Nathalie Du Pasquier, Shiro Kuramata, George Sowden, Martine Bedin, Matteo Thun, Aldo Cibic and Peter Shire, Carefully packed and shipped with tracking and insurance.
