Parana Ceramic Fruit Bowl, by Masanori Umeda from Memphis Milano

About the Item

Trigonal ceramic fruit bowl in pastel colors was originally designed by Masanori Umeda in 1983 for Memphis Milano. Was born in 1941 at Kanagawa in Japan. He obtained his diploma from the Kuwasawa School of Design in Tokio in 1962. In 1967, he went to live in Milan and work in the studio of Achille Piergiacomo Castiglioni. From 1970 to 1979, he was Design Consultant for Olivetti. In 1980 Masanori Umeda returned to Japan and opened his own studio. U-Metadesign Inc. Among his most important projects in 1981 is the Tawaraya bed for Memphis. He has participated in several international exhibitions and won the Braun Prize in Germany in 1968, the Japanese Associated Commercial Designer's Prize in 1984 and the first prize for glass design in 1986. Memphis is the great cultural phenomenon of the 1980s that revolutionized creative and commercial logics in design. Born from the idea of Ettore Sottsass and a group of young designers and architects, in Milan, coupled in the years by famous designers from the international scene, Memphis turned upside down all of the existing parameters on living. Ettore Sottsass as the backbone of the group, design gained a new concept and expression through new shapes, materials and patterns, expanding the creative limits of the industry. Memphis became a symbol of New Design. Its influence is still clear in various sectors of production and beyond.
