"Memphis Design", a collection of works by Memphis, an Italian design group. Founded in 1981 by Ettore Sottsass, a master of the Italian design world, the Memphis Exhibition was held at Milano Salone in the same year, gathering young designers from all over the world. Shiro Kuramata is also participating from Japan. It is a decorative design that is far from function, which is the opposite of the modern design aimed at by Bauhaus and others, and is characterized by its colors and organic forms. In 2011, the 21_21 design site in Tokyo held an exhibition called "Shiro Kuramata and Ettore Sottsass", and many of these designs, which were said to be postmodern, still look fresh today. This book is a collection of works that summarizes designs related to Memphis. It includes Sottsass' works from the late 70's before Memphis to 1983, and includes works by designers such as Kuramata, Michele De Lucchi, Marco Zanini, Michael Graves, Matteo Tun, Martin Bedan, and Peter Shire. Furniture, lighting, products, sketches, interiors, etc. are introduced. German version.
