Memphis design, Memphis design lamps and lighting, Memphis style, yellow red blue green - October 8, 2021

Now it gets colorful and shrill!

Nowadays, we perceive it as a loud, colorful style with rough edges, which quite deliberately sets itself apart from the clean, Scandinavian interior design style or the Midcentury modern design that prevailed for a long time.

We have put together for you a small, fine selection of lamps and lighting in Memphis style. Maybe your home could use a splash of color right now?

Not only for collectors!

In the 50s and 60s in southwestern Germany arose a large industry of many smaller but still well-known ceramic manufacturers such as Scheurich, Ruscha, Carstens or Bay Keramik. In the course of this trend, exiting colorful ceramic kitchen clocks were designed too, which then could not be missing in any kitchen until the late70s!

We have put together a fine selection of these vintage treasures for you, just take a look!

Off into the house!

We have some really great vintage finds from this year staged in our collection MCM STYLE & ANTIQUE DECOR, which definitely have potential to become your next favorite decoration piece. Lovely French, German, Danish eye-candies... Just take a look!

Two unequal equals

This explains the difference in size between Tim and Tom: Tim dates from the 1960s, while Tom was made in the 1970s, when the shortage of materials obviously became even more serious and a saving of 4 x 2cm per stool was already considerable.
But in any case, the two are an authentic conversation starter - even more so if you now know this story about it!

At some point the day will come

Today we have such a wonderfully harmonious pair for you, where this decision has turned out conceivably close: a beautiful kitchen wall cupboard with green-blue sliding doors and (special feature!) 7 handled containers for baking ingredients, spices, or odds and ends plus a matching extendable kitchen table made of wood with inlaid Formica surface. Both were made in the 1950s and are still in great shape for their age! These two go so perfectly with the green upholstered bentwood kitchen chairs that — at least for the photo — they just belong together.
