Memphis Milano
Brazil Table
Price € 8,540.00
Brazil is a table by Memphis Milano, a brand renowned for its unique, aesthetically striking products. It's a one-of-a-kind piece, reminiscent of several other objects, including a surfboard, a sailboat, and much more. Created by Peter Shire in 1981, Brazil is an example of simplicity blended with a certain aesthetic elegance, a blend that invites you to dare and exceed, defying the most common lines in favor of something bold. The colors chosen are in keeping with the Memphis brand: yellow, pink, and bright green, all united by a solid black that serves as both the base and the tabletop. The single leg, a shark fin, cuts across the tabletop, creating a striking focal point.

Memphis was born in 1980 as an expression of radical design embodied in the creative genius of Ettore Sottsass, a pivotal figure around which young designers and architects from all over the world gather. A unique, ingenious and futuristic idea inspires this group of promises of contemporary design who set to work to create a collection of objects capable of embodying not only the highest expression of the radical movement, but its explicit crowning molded by the wise hands of Ettore Sottsass, Aldo Cibic, Matteo Thun, Marco Zanini, Martine Bedin, Michele De Lucchi, Nathalie Du Pasquier and George Sowden.Read more
Designed by
Peter Shire
Peter Shire (1947-) is an American designer and ceramist, a respected exponent of the Californian funk style. This style, which became popular in the late 1960s, placed the emphasis on bright colours and the use of unconventional shapes and presented many points of contact with the avant-garde of Anti-Design that was simultaneously gaining popularity in Europe. It is precisely thanks to these references that Shire, after having achieved good fame in California in the 1970s with his artistic ceramics, managed to achieve international fame in the 1980s: he was in fact noticed by the great Italian master Ettore Sottsass who saw in Shire's work some analogies with his own style and invited him to design furniture for the Memphis movement, which he launched in 1981. The furniture designed by Shire for Memphis took his creativity to another level of scale and is characterised by asymmetrical and irregular geometries, enriched by bright and cheerful colours. Even more famous are his “impossible teapots”, a type of object that has always fascinated him and that recurs several times throughout his career, reinterpreted in new and increasingly daring forms. A major player on the Los Angeles cultural scene, he has created numerous sculptures hosted in public places in the city and was part of the team that worked on the graphic image of the 1984 Olympics.Read more
