Post-modern sculptural memphis style pedestal table, 1980s

About the Item

Original side table or pedestal in a radical postmodernist design, composed of black-painted folded sheet metal and red-lacquered particleboard. Its dimensions make it ideal as a sofa end or pedestal table, although its design is reminiscent of a chair and its solidity would make it suitable as a seat. In good condition, with a few traces of use on the black paint on the back, and slight defects on the lacquered part. "The Memphis Group, also known as Memphis Milano, was an Italian design and architecture group founded by Ettore Sottsass. It was active from 1980 to 1987. The group designed postmodern furniture, lighting, fabrics, carpets, ceramics, glass and metal objects. The Memphis group's work often incorporated plastic laminate and terrazzo materials and was characterized by ephemeral design featuring colorful and abstract decoration as well as asymmetrical shapes, sometimes arbitrarily alluding to exotic or earlier styles and designs."
