Attributed to the Memphis Style, this chair comprises yellow vinyl and sheet metal, and is characterized by its zany zig-zags and whimsical elements. At once whimsical (hilarious) and quite serious, this chair is functional art at its best.
Memphis Style is recognizable by big and bold color schemes, zany geometric patterns and an adoration for squiggles and zig-zags. It takes bits and pieces of influence from Art Deco, Pop Art and 1950s kitsch to create a design movement that valued form more than function.
Memphis Style furniture was designed and created by The Memphis Group (also known as Memphis Milano) during the years 1980-1987. The group was comprised of architectural designers and was known to design postmodern furniture, lighting, fabrics, carpets, ceramics, glass and metal objects.
You can use this as an accent chair or view it as a sculpture.
