The Memphis style Was emerged in 1981, when the Italian designer and architect Ettore Sottsass founded a group of artists and designers called Memphis. Bob Dylan’s song 'Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again' was playing on repeat during the group’s first meeting, which led to the group being named 'Memphis'. After the inaugural meeting, the group decided that they would meet again in February 1981. The members brought over 100 drawings with them, picturing a variety of bold, colorful designs with multiple stylistic influences. The Memphis Group went on to create furniture, fabrics, patterns, ceramics and other products in a distinctly Postmodern style that blended stylistic traits of 1950s kitsch...

Limited edition 1990s flexible resin wine bucket by Gaetano Pesce for Fish Design, Italy. Numbered 182/1000. Works great as an ice bucket, wine bucket, catch-all, vase, vessel, sculpture, planter, pot or jardinière. If you use it as a planter, we suggest an interior lining to protect the piece. ABOUT THE ARTIST: Gaetano Pesce, born on November 8, 1939, in La Spezia, Italy, is renowned as a leading figure in contemporary Italian design and architecture. Fearlessly experimental with materials and color, Pesce has collaborated with Italy’s foremost design companies, including Artemide, Vitra, Cassina, and B&B Italia. Pesce began his journey into design at the University of Venice, where he pursued architecture and graduated in 1965. Influenced by prominent figures such as Ernesto Nathan Rogers and Mario Bellini at the Venice College of Industrial Design, Pesce embraced a commitment to novelty and avant-garde principles. He co-founded the avant-garde architectural collective "Gruppo N," inspired by the Bauhaus aesthetic, during his formative years. Pesce’s portfolio encompasses a wide range of designs, from iconic furniture pieces to monumental architectural projects. His creations reflect a profound contemplation of modernity, exemplified by the La Mamma chair (1969), which evokes a prehistoric fertility figure, and the Organic Building in Osaka (1993), celebrated for its innovative hanging garden motif. Among his most celebrated furniture designs are the Up series for B&B Italia, including the Up5 armchair (La Donna) and Up6 ottoman (La Mamma), which challenge traditional notions of form and function with their bold, anthropomorphic shapes. Other notable designs include the 357 Feltri chair...

A beautiful set of four vintage French hand-blown stemmed wine or water glasses, circa 1980, in a sophisticated amethyst purple coloration ranging from delicate lavender and dusty rose to deeper plum tones. Each glass features an elegant, softly curved bowl with a gently tapered profile, supported by a long slender stem and circular foot. The simplicity of the silhouette allows the unusual color of the glass to become the principal decorative element. Depending upon the surrounding light, the translucent glass takes on subtle shades of amethyst, plum, mauve and lavender, giving the set a particularly attractive jewel-like quality. The glasses were mouth-blown by hand, and small bubbles and subtle variations may be visible within the glass. These are characteristic of traditional hand-blown production rather than defects and contribute to the individuality of each piece. Elegant without being overly formal, the glasses work beautifully with both antique and contemporary table settings. Their clean lines and saturated color make them particularly suitable for an eclectic European table, modern Mediterranean interior, or a sophisticated barware collection. They may be used as wine glasses, water goblets or decorative stemware, and the rich amethyst coloration makes them especially effective when mixed with clear crystal, colored Venetian-style glass or complementary vintage tableware. This set is vintage old-new stock and has never been used, remaining in mint condition. Sold as a set of four. Multiple sets are available, making it possible to assemble a larger service while availability lasts. Dimensions: 7.5 in. H × 2.75 in. top diameter × 3 in. base diameter. Origin: France Date: circa 1980 Period: Late 20th Century Material: Blown glass Technique: Hand-blown / mouth-blown Color: Amethyst purple, plum and lavender Condition: Mint vintage condition; never used. Small bubbles and minor variations inherent to hand-blown glass production. French amethyst wine glasses, purple wine glasses...
