The history of the Memphis Group dates back to the 1980s but as time goes by, its echo lingers on and so does its following, particularly in terms of connections between Italy and Los Angeles. The innovative design and architecture group was founded in Milan in 1981 by renowned artist Ettore Sottsass, and remained active until 1988. Some people still consider the Lombard experience simply as a wise recovery from the kitsch style, while it actually went far beyond that.
The Memphis Group's ambitious projects and inspiration - especially for that time - used to draw on the past tradition as much as on more recent history, developing an identity as one of the most dynamic postmodern avantgardes.
