Memphis

From the jacket:Bold, fantastic, colorful, and compelling, Memphis furniture, clothes, and accessories are outrageously ornamental. “Il Nuovo Design” – what came to be known as Memphis – took the design world by storm in 1981 and is now featured in mainstream stores at affordable prices. A design philosophy that redefines the concept of furniture, MEMPHIS: OBJECTS, FURNITURE, AND PATTERNS shows how to place and integrate these innovative pieces into virtually any existing design scheme. From the first Italian manifesto to the latest derivations and their influence in fashion, electronics, and other areas, this revised edition describes, delineates, and defines Memphis in a sparkling survey as beautiful and tantalizing as the objects themselves.
