Carlton by Ettore Sottsass for Memphis Milano
Carlton designed by Ettore Sottsass in 1981 for Memphis Milano.

I found this great article called “Memphis design style is back” while doing some research about Ettore Sottsass in early January when I learned he had died. I’m not in a writing mood these days so I guess I’ll just add a selection of photos and links here.

And that house… I would seriously do just about anything to live in a house like that. WOW!
