- Summary
- Curious ceramic objects, wildly patterned fabrics, and anthropomorphic lamps: unmistakeable and never boring, Memphis is one of the most important design movements of the 20th century. With amusingly wacky (and yet precisely planned) designs that rebelled against the rules of functionalism, Ettore Sottsass and his associates decisively influenced the aesthetic of the eighties. In More is More, author and design journalist Claire Bingham revisits the period's free-thinking mind-set and whisks us away on a crazy and colorful journey: in exciting essays, interviews, and stories about home decor, artists and designers from around the world share how Memphis continues to inspire and enrich their work.
