Memphis: Objects, Furniture, and Patterns

Memphis: Objects, Furniture, and Patterns, by Richard Horn, unveils whimsical and elegant pieces that can transform rooms into fantasy salons. A single pièce de résistance revitalizes living rooms or offices. Overflowing with captivating photos, the book opens the opulent world of Memphis beyond designers and architects. Escaping high-tech and Scandinavian Modern, Memphis emerged fully in 1981, revolutionizing international design from furniture to ceramics, fabrics, and more. Italian architect Ettore Sottsass, Jr.'s "Studio Alchymia" marked its beginning, spreading to global stores and even clothing. Affordable and accessible, Memphis's growth led to chapters on lamps, sofas, and interiors. This book serves as an inspiring springboard for personal design.
