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.
