Memphis Again (Triennale Milano), curated by Christoph Radl and published by Silvana Editoriale, is a vibrant celebration of the Memphis design movement and its lasting influence on contemporary creativity. The exhibition and accompanying book showcase works by seminal designers including Ettore Sottsass, Michele De Lucchi, George J. Souden, Martine Bedin, Andrea Branzi, Shiro Kuramata, Marco Zanini, Matteo Thun, Peter Shire, Aldo Cibic, Nathalie Du Pasquier, Gerard Taylor, Masanori Umeda, Arquitectonica, Michael Graves, Hans Hollein, Arata Isozaki, and Javier Mariscal.
Featuring bold colors, geometric patterns, and playful forms, the Memphis movement challenged traditional design norms in the 1980s, blending art, architecture, and industrial design into a radical aesthetic. Memphis Again documents this legacy with stunning photography, detailed essays, and insights from the designers themselves, capturing the movement’s irreverent spirit and its ongoing impact on furniture, interiors, and visual culture worldwide.
