Memphis (International group of designers, founded 1980)
|
Note: Group officially founded in Milan, 11 December 1980, by Ettore Sottsass, Barbara Radice, Marco Zanini, Aldo Cibic, Matteo Thun, Michele De Lucchi, and Martine Bedin. Others who did work in the Memphis idiom were: Peter Shire, Shiro Kuramata, and Michael Graves. Objects such as furniture and lighting designed in the Memphis style feature bright colors and bold geometric shapes, made from industrial materials such as plastic laminate. The group was formed in reaction to modernist design sensibilities of the time. Memphis embraced garish forms derived from popular culture and kitsch sources. |
