1990s Memphis Milano Style Black and White Coffee Set by Taruschio
About the Item
This Memphis Milano-style Italian ceramic coffee set characterized by its bold, geometric design and avant-garde aesthetic. The coffee set features conical cups with triangular bases, both of which are hallmarks of Memphis Milano's postmodern design language. The cups and pots seem to defy traditional forms, incorporating sharp angles and contrasting shapes.
The set uses a black-and-white color palette, enhancing the stark contrasts that the Memphis style is known for. The monochromatic theme emphasizes the geometric shapes, making them even more striking.
The set includes several items, such as cups with black or white triangular stands and a matching coffee pot that follows the same angular, sculptural design. The teapot and sugar container appear to have quirky, asymmetrical lids or spouts, which further adds to the playful and eccentric feel.
Memphis Style Known for its radical approach to design in the 1980s, the Memphis Milano style emphasizes boldness, irregular shapes, and a departure from the minimalism of earlier modernist designs. This coffee set, with its striking angular shapes and color contrasts, is a perfect example of that ethos.
This coffee set would be a statement piece for any table, embodying the playfulness and daring spirit of postmodern design. The set is composed by a coffee pot, a sugar bowl, and six coffee cup with plates.

1980s Memphis Milano Style Black and Transparent Lucite Italian Table Lamp
By Memphis Milano
Located in Aci Castello, IT
A black and transparent Lucite table lamp designed and manufactured in Italy in the Eighties in the style of Memphis Milano, the base of the lamp is 44 cm in height. It works both 110-240 volts and it needs a regular e27 bulb.
The lamp exemplifies the bold and eclectic design ethos of the era. Drawing inspiration from the Memphis Group's avant-garde aesthetic, this lamp showcases a fusion of unconventional shapes, contrasting colors, and playful patterns.
The lamp's base, constructed from sleek black Lucite, serves as a modernist pedestal, providing stability while also contributing to the lamp's overall aesthetic impact. Its minimalist design contrasts sharply with the lamp's translucent Lucite stem, creating a captivating visual interplay between solidity and transparency. The transparent Lucite stem, featuring geometric forms and angular accents, embodies the spirit of postmodernism with its whimsical yet structured silhouette. When illuminated, the lamp emits a soft and ambient glow, casting intriguing shadows and reflections that enhance its visual appeal. Whether placed on a bedside table, desk, or console, this Memphis Milano Style table...
