MEMPHIS MILANO OPENS THE DOORS OF THE NEW MEMPHIS MILANO GALLERIA

5 July 2022

Inaugurated in the heart of Brera and in the premises of Post Design Gallery which has been showcasing the cultural initiatives of the brand, the space has always retained the characteristics of an art gallery with its extensive program of solo shows and group exhibitions.

Today, the gallery reopens its doors with a new name and a new look. Memphis Milano Galleria maintains the original aim of recording and documenting transformations in taste and aesthetics. 

Ettore Sottsass' Carlton bookshelf welcomes visitors at Memphis Milano Galleria's new entrances and invites them to discover the incredible collection of furniture, objects, accessories and lighting by the incredible creative minds of the group throughout the six different rooms.

Memphis Milano's spirit is well reflected in the new setup of the Galleria with its internationally recognized graphic patterns repeated on the rooms' walls, ceiling and flooring.

About Memphis Milano

Memphis was born from a cultural movement initiated by Ettore Sottsass in 1981 with the intention of giving life to products he designed and to products designed by a group of young architects and designers with whom he interacted, among which Aldo Cibic, Matteo Thun, Marco Zanini, Martine Bedin, Michele De Lucchi, Nathalie Du Pasquier and George Sowden.

Memphis was born as a lab for the development of new project ideas and soon became a cultural phenomenon. With Ettore Sottsass as the point of reference for the group, and with Barbara Radice as artistic director, the first collection was presented at Salone del Mobile in 1981. From the start, Memphis’ design has represented a new expressive concept that is tied to new shapes, new materials, new patterns, and that has redesigned living habits by revolutionizing their logic and conquering the design world.

Acquired by the Italian Radical Design group in 2022, Memphis continues to influence the imagination of the general public, from fashion to the film and television industry. The liberating spirit of Memphis is still a source of inspiration for many today.
