The "Memphis Milano" catalogue includes icons designed by the famous Memphis collective between 1981 and 1988, a group that brought together international architects and designers, a true cultural phenomenon that shook up the design codes placing itself outside the canons of "good taste" of the time.
The first Memphis collection is characterized by exuberant patterns, explosive colours, intrepid asymmetries, geometric shapes stacked up like totems, new use of plastic laminate considered "cheap" until then; these exceptional pieces are now sought after by collectors around the world and exhibited in the most prestigious museums.
Designed in 1981 by Ettore Sottsass, the Tahiti lamp with its duck head and cocktail of colours and materials has become one of the great icons of the Memphis group. It is a stylised bird consisting of a rectangular plastic laminate base with black confetti patterns from which lacquered metal elements rise up; the pivots head formed of a pink lacquered metal disc holds the light source in its beak.
