About the Item
Martine Bedin is a French architect and designer, best known as a founding member of the Memphis Group, the radical Italian design collective established in 1981. Her work is characterized by bold colors, geometric shapes, and playful, unconventional forms that challenged traditional design norms. One of her most iconic creations is the “Super Lamp,” a colorful, mobile lamp resembling a toy car, which became a symbol of postmodern design. Bedin studied architecture in Paris and Florence, and her cross-cultural background influenced her eclectic style. Beyond Memphis, she has worked in architecture, furniture, lighting, and graphic design, often blending artistic expression with functional objects. Her work remains influential in contemporary design, celebrated for its creativity, optimism, and defiance of minimalist trends that dominated the late 20th century.

Martine Bedin was born in Bordeaux in 1957. In 1981 she was one of the founding members of the Memphis group, she works as an architect, industrial designer and professor. Her works are exhibited in many museums and private collections.
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.
