Forget "Walking in Memphis", try dressing your home in Memphis, the iconic yet controversial style originating in Italy in the early 1980s. Memphis style combines bold colors and ephemeral shapes for an unmistakable look. Popular pieces and elements include plastic side tables, laminate surfaces, and metal tableware. While the group of Italian designers behind the movement disbanded in 1988, the Memphis look is back in a major way, and can live on, right in your living room.
