Riassunto

Pump up the postmodernism! Instantly recognizable and never, ever boring, Memphis is one of the most important design movements of the 20th century. Founded by Italian architect and designer Ettore Sottsass, the Memphis Group put forward a visionary new approach to design, defining the ?80s with its radical combinations of shapes, materials, and patterns. Serving up kooky design that?s eclectic yet tightly curated, the Memphis look is exuberant, outrageous, and entertaining. Who doesn?t want a bit of that?
Spanning the worlds of interiors, furniture, fashion, and graphics, this new design book explores how the rule-breaking Memphis aesthetic continues to shape the modern creative scene. It started with Millennial Pink. Now the sweet shop colors, terrazzo floors, and curved cartoon shapes have been given a black outline and made graphic and cool.
In More is More, editor Claire Bingham curates iconic Memphis designs and interiors alongside contemporary projects steeped in the effervescent Memphis mood. Step inside stunning, postmodernism-loving homes, studios, and hotels, capturing the Memphis spirit with their hello-there hues, vive la diff?rence mindset, and flamboyant creativity ? all hopefully, in the teeth of good taste. And along the way, hear from fashion-forward creatives embracing the Memphis look, as well as from Memphis Group founding member Peter Shire?a man who knows that stripes make you happy. Shire shares the stories behind the signature high-energy style and tells us how the ?80s vibe has impacted his life and work. For both the leaders and followers of the New Wave, Memphis is more than a style. It?s an attitude.

L'autore:

Die Einrichtungsjournalistin Claire Bingham schreibt für eine Reihe von Zeitschriften weltweit über Design, Reisen und Stil. Bevor sie anfing, Bücher zu veröffentlichen, darunter die teNeues-Bände Modern Living und A Beautiful Mess, war sie Wohnredakteurin der britischen Elle Decoration und mit einfühlsamen Beiträgen auch in internationalen Hochglanzmagazinen wie Vogue Living und Architectural Digest vertreten. Wenn sie rund um den Globus nach inspirierenden Interieurs sucht und hinter den Kulissen neue Talente entdeckt, schreibt sie am Ende immer über Häuser voller Charakter - sei es moderner Glamour oder altweltlicher, nachlässiger Charme.
