Published at the height of the movement's inception, this volume documents the radical aesthetic of the Memphis Group, led by Ettore Sottsass. Richard Horn examines the provocative intersection of kitsch, high art, and industrial production, highlighting the signature use of plastic laminates, clashing geometric patterns, and non-functional forms that defined the postmodern era in Italian design.
