The Memphis Art Movement.
A group of designers and architects, which created products around the
1980s era, what made Memphis art movements work interesting and unusual was their
considered approach to shapes, patterns and colours.
Playfulness is a word that describes Memphis art movement very well,
with a sense of individuality, wanting to create unique, new, fresh designs.
“The group may no longer exist but it has
certainly influenced graphic design, restaurant design, fabrics and furnishing”
My first reaction to
Memphis art movement was how graphic and bold the designs are, finding through
my research of Memphis art movement was this text in bold, I can understand why
Memphis art movement has influenced graphic designers and designers, their work
was quirky, colours they collected and infused together were so right but yet
so wrong, they really did/do give young designers hope to create what they
believe in.

Taking into
consideration, is how Memphis art movement created products; they took it one
step further each time. I feel at this stage of where I am that 3D could be
taken into consideration and could be a possible route for a context.

Looking into Memphis
Art movement I’m wanting to take there influence of playfulness of combining
colours, textures and patterns to create bold, spectacular patterns that I can
work with and on to develop them into some sort of outcome.
Whilst looking into Memphis art movement it lead me to Christian Dior’s collection- Couture 2011 fall. [fig 3] The collection
has been influential to look at due to being a different side of textiles, Dior’s influence allowed me to look more into shapes
and structures, this lead me onto another company named Office Milano,[fig4] and a graphic designer Carmen Nacher [fig5]
