A true bombshell in design culture, Memphis renews the language of shapes and colors. Objects are created from their meaning and presence, not from their functionality. Inhabited by this new freedom, they communicate visually by opening the field of all possibilities. Thanks to Ernesto Gismondi, the company Artemide has from the outset ensured the interna- tional distribution of the collection and the pieces have quickly become icons of Italian design in the world. Michele De Lucchi’s First chair and Martine Bedin’s Super lamp are real bestsellers.
