The “Memphis Milano” catalog brings together the icons drawn by the Memphis collective from 1981 to 1988.
The group brought together international architects and designers, including Michele De Lucchi, Matteo Thun, Martine Bedin, Nathalie Du Pasquier, Shiro Kuramata, and George J. Sowden.
Memphis' colorful and eccentric creations revolutionized design in the 80s, deliberately placing themselves outside the canons of "good taste" of the time.
Memphis creations are symbols of Anti-design and New Design, and are today sought after by collectors around the world and exhibited in the most prestigious museums.
The "Memphis Milano" company continues to produce around fifty historic pieces in Italy, all bearing the "Memphis" seal, with a certificate of authenticity.
