Pierre Table, by George J. Sowden, for Memphis Milano Collection
About the Item
George J. Sowden
1981
Table made of lacquered wood and covered with decorative laminate, metal frame.
The surprising optical effect of Pierre is the result of the alternation of two vividly contrasting geometric patterns.
The colors and motifs enliven the rigorous silhouette of this piece that certainly never goes unnoticed.
Designed by George Sowden in 1981, Pierre is a table of great impact in lacquered wood, covered with decorative laminate on a metal frame. The structure is composed of four wooden legs with a square section, lacquered with red, yellow and blue stripes. The wooden top has a zigzag motif in black and white.
“When I arrived in Italy and met Sottsass in 1970, I could sense a sort of freedom from modernist ideology, which Memphis then proceeded to destroy completely. With Memphis I could do what I wanted, and when you can do what you want everything depends on your sensibility, your ability and creativity,” Sowden says.

Trends are cyclical, and even the ones that distinguish an era find a way of returning back in vogue. Memphis Groups design's are a perfect example of how a movement that had top praise during the 80s, could once again regain its admiration in present day 2020. Memphis Milano is the powerful 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.
