    The Memphis design movement was founded in 1981 in Milan, Italy by a group of Italian designers including Ettore Sottsass, who disagreed with the popular minimalist designs of the 1970s which they felt lacked personality. The Memphis group aimed to create furniture and objects with bold colors, geometric patterns, and eccentric styles that stood out from the minimalism of the time. Key members of the Memphis movement included Ettore Sottsass, Michele De Lucchi, and Matteo Thun.
