Created by Ettore Sottsass in 1981, the artwork titled “Tahiti Lamp, Memphis” falls under the genre of design.
The artwork consists of a geometric and colorful design characteristic of the Memphis Group style. It stands on a rectangular base, featuring a white surface adorned with a black squiggly pattern reminiscent of animal print. Extending from the base is a curved brown arc supporting a vivid yellow vertical element that culminates in a pink, circular disc. Attached to the disc is a red, rectangular block, injecting a bold splash of color and further emphasizing the geometric aesthetics. The work combines various shapes and hues, embodying the energetic and unconventional spirit of the Memphis design movement.
