SPOTLIGHT ON: THE MEMPHIS GROUP

Memphis: Plastic Field

21 NOVEMBER 2020 – 24 APRIL 2021

For a design masterclass, head to Milton Keynes' MK Gallery. The year old space is showing the influential work of Italian architect and designer, Ettore Sottsass and his 1980s collective, the Memphis Group, from 21 November. See why their bold colours, unusual materials and strong geometric style appealed to fans like David Bowie.
