Il volume accompagna la mostra omonima, in cui vengono presentati oltre duecento tra mobili e oggetti realizzati tra il 1981 e il 1986 per la collezione Memphis. Memphis è stato un collettivo italiano di design e architettura fondato da Ettore Sottsass, attivo tra il 1981 e il 1988 e affermatosi come uno dei massimi esponenti della scena postmodernista degli anni 80 del XX secolo. La fondazione del collettivo fu il risultato di un lungo percorso iniziato all’Olivetti di Ivrea, dove Ettore Sottsass aveva incominciato a coordinare la progettazione alla fine anni cinquanta, e proseguito e approfondito con le ricerche nell’ambito dell’architettura radicale negli anni sessanta e settanta a Firenze e in Europa. Ma la visione di Memphis era propositiva. Aggirava le posizioni critiche della poetica radicale che aveva funzionato da incubatrice per le nuove proposte confermando in modo esplicito un desiderio di cambiamento e aggiornamento del linguaggio non solo milanese ma internazionale.

designers :  Ettore Sottsass, Michele De Lucchi, George J. Sowden, Martine Bedin, Andrea Branzi, Shiro Kuramata, Marco Zanini, Matteo Thun, Peter Shire, Aldo Cibic, Nathalie du Pasquier, Gerard Taylor, Masanori Umeda, Arquitectonica, Michael Graves, Hans Hollein, Arata Isozaki, Javier Mariscal.

Sottsass & Grawunder’s models

Ettore Sottsass, born in Innsbruck in 1917, became one of the most influential designers and architects of the 20th century. Fond of radical thoughts and movements, he founded the energetic and flamboyant Memphis group in 1981 and completely changed the design scene in Italy - and in the world.

As Memphis attracted attention, Ettore Sottsass founded an architectural practice and a major design consultancy with Aldo Cibic, Marco Marabelli, Matteo Thun and Marco Zanini. He named it Sottsass Associati. He provided cultural guidance to work conducted by its many young associates. 

Johanna Grawunder, born in San Diego in 1961, joined the firm in 1985 and became a partner in 1989. At the Sottsass Studio, she was involved primarily with architecture and interiors, co-designing many of the firm’s most prestigious projects with Sottsass. The models they worked on together between 1988 and 2003 are incredible objects. Made of plexiglas and polychrome marble, they look like little sculptures and were edited by Ultima Edizione, a marble company located near Carrara.

In 2001, Johanna eventually left the firm to found her own studio in San Francisco and Milan. Sottsass died in 2007 at the age of 90 years but Sottsass Associati continue to carry on the philosophy and culture of the studio. The studio still works with former members of Memphis, including Johanna Grawunder.

BACK IN THE BOOKSHOP: MEMPHIS : RESEARCH, EXPERIENCES, RESULTS, FAILURES AND SUCCESSES OF NEW DESIGN (1985) • First 1985 printing of the UK hardcover edition of "MEMPHIS: Research, Experiences, Results, Failures and Successes of New Design", by Barbara Radice - arguably the greatest reference book on the work of the Italian Design group Memphis. • Written by Radice, a founding member of the Memphis group (and author of "Ettore Sottsass: A Critical Biography"), and documenting in stunning photography and reproduction the vast array of design work that this group produced across furniture, lighting, interiors, architecture, textiles, glassware, etc., this really feels like THE official Memphis book, embodying their spirit and design aesthetic in book form. • Founded in 1981, the international group of architects and designers, Memphis, shook the design world to its foundations. Based in Italy and led by Ettore Sottsass, it overturned and re-shaped the pre-suppositions on which the production of so-called Modern Design is based. It became the almost mythical symbol of the New Design. Laughing out loud at our culture and at itself, Memphis pulled out all stops when it came to colour, pattern, decoration and ornamentation. It sets out to contribute to the continuing dialogue on pop culture, the avant-garde and design. • This book features the work of Ettore Sottsass, George Sowden, Masanori Umeda, Shiro Kuramata, Nathalie Du Pasquier, Peter Shire, Michele de Lucchi, Matteo Thun, Alessandro Mendini, Andrea Branzi, Gerard Taylor, Michael Graves, Aldo Cibic, George James Sowden, Arquitectonica, Hans Hollein, Marco Zanini, Javier Mariscal, Thomas Bley, Martine Bedin, etc. • Via our website and in the bookshop tomorrow. • #worldfoodbooks #memphismilano #AldoCibic #AlessandroMendini #AndreaBranzi #EttoreSottsass #GeorgeSowden #GerardTaylor #HansHollein #JavierMariscal #MarcoZanini #MartineBedin #MasanoriUmeda #MatteoThun #MichaelGraves #MicheledeLucchi #NathalieDuPasquier #PeterShire #ShiroKuramata #ThomasBley (at WORLD FOOD BOOKS)

Memphis Launched in Milan in 1980 ‘Memphis’ was a design collective that aimed to disrupt the status quo of the design industry. Led by architect-designer Ettore Sottsass (1917-2007) these designers conceived and produced era-defining furniture, ceramics and lighting. These objects disregarded the tenets of modernism and were instead infused with historical and pop culture visual vocabularies. According to legend, in late 1980, Sottsass was in his Milanese apartment with a group of young designers - including radical designer and ‘Alchimia’ member Michele De Lucchi - discussing how bourgeois and irrelevant design had become. Bob Dylan’s song ‘Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again’ (1966) was playing in the background. Together Sottsass and De Lucchi decided to create a collection of new work, full of vitality and in tune with times. They enlisted production work from cabinetmaker Renzo Brugola - a showroom from Mario and Brunella Godani - and financial backing from Ernesto Gismondi, President of ‘Artemide’. Over the years, prominent Memphis designers would include Martine Bedin, Andrea Branzi Aldo Cibic, Michael Graves, Hans Hollein, Arata Isozaki, Shiro Kuramata, Javier Mariscal, Alessandro Mendini, Luciano Paccagnella, Nathalie du Pasquier, Barbara Radice, Peter Shire, George Sowden, Matteo Thun, Masanori Umeda, Marco Zanini and Marco Zanuso Jr. ‘Memphis’s' first exhibition took place on September 18, 1981 at Milan’s ‘Arc ’74’ and launched the group to international notoriety. The provocative, postmodern pieces designed for the exhibition featured bold colours and unconventional shapes; many were coated in mismatched, patterned laminates - a material specifically chosen for its connotation of cheapness. The first Memphis collection included Sottsass’s ‘Beverly Cabinet’, ‘Tahiti Lamp’ and ‘Carlton Bookcase’; Sowden’s ‘Oberoi Armchairs’; du Pasquier’s 1950s-style pink and black textile print; Bedin’s ‘Superlamp’; and de Lucchi’s ‘Oceanic Lamp’. The group went on to hold more exhibitions in London, Los Angeles, Tokyo, San Francisco, New York and Milan. Sottsass left in 1985 to resume his architectural role at ‘Sottsass Associati’. https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ5nbWilBgR/?igshid=xbmzun8f9wu8

VINCENT VAN DUYSEN

VINCENT VAN DUYSEN WAS BORN IN BELGIUM IN 1962. HE STUDIED ARCHITECTURE AND OBTAINED A DEGREE FROM THE HIGHER INSTITUTE OF ARCHITECTURE. AFTER HIS STUDIES HE WORKED IN MILAN UNDER INFLUENTIAL DESIGNER ALDO CIBIC AND THEN ON TO ANTWERP WITH AND JEAN DE MEULDER. VAN DUYSEN IS COMMONLY REGARDED AS A MINIMALIST BUT HE BELIEVES HIS INTERIORS ARE ANYTHING BUT MINIMAL.

“From the onset, a definite relationship between architecture, interior and product design has been a driving force, creating projects with subtle transitions between these disciplines, combined with a spatial design attitude that always searches the essence.” - VINCENT VAN DUYSEN

DURING HIS CAREER, VINCENT VAN DUYSEN HAS RECEIVED MULTIPLE AWARDS AMONG ‘THE FLEMISH CULTURE PRIZE’ AND ‘BELGIAN DESIGNER OF THE YEAR’ AND FEATURED NUMEROUS TIMES ON ARCHITECTURAL DIGEST’S TOP 100.

“The use of pure and tactile materials results in a clear and timeless design.  An approach that covers all aspects, with respect to context and tradition, within which the senses and physical experience of the space, materials and light place the integrity of the user at its core.  Functionality, durability and comfort are the prime components of the work.  An architectural language which is not shy of aesthetics, but resists fashion and trends.” - VINCENT VAN DUYSEN

HIS SELECTION OF MATERIALS ARE EXCLUSIVELY NATURAL MATERIALS WHEN CHOOSING A MATERIAL HE EXAMINES THE TEXTURE, SCALE, COLOR, SMELL, AND IF THE MATERIAL GIVES WARMTH OR MAKES A SPACE COLD. A SINGLE MATERIAL MIGHT BE USED IN AN ARRAY OF TEXTURES, COLOR, SCALE, AND PROPORTION.

“I love to work with any kind of wood, from lighter to darker colors. For both my designs and architectural projects, I mainly use natural materials. I like the sensual perception of wood, stone, natural fibers, and so on. You can see, feel and even smell the material” - VINCENT VAN DUYSEN
