內容簡介

Memphis Design不只是一種風格，更是一種態度。

Memphis design是二十世紀最重要的設計潮流之一，以義大利建築師、設計師Ettore Sottsass為首，他們看膩了極簡風格，想要打破所有規範，用前衛的視角來將各種形狀、材質、紋樣、顏色使用在設計中，創造出一種精力旺盛、看了一眼就忘不了、絕對不無聊的風格！

室內設計、家具設計、時尚設計、平面設計等都可以看到Memphis Design的蹤跡，翻開這本書，就走進了一場Memphis風格的探險，一探藏有其精神的飯店、私宅、工作室，然後擁抱Memphis的時尚穿著，創始成員Peter Shire還會來分享他們充滿活力的風格如何成為一股潮流，又是如何影響著他自己的生活。

Pump up the postmodernism! Instantly recognizable and never, ever boring, Memphis is one of the most important design movements of the 20th century. Founded by Italian architect and designer Ettore Sottsass, the Memphis Group put forward a visionary new approach to design, defining the '80s with its radical combinations of shapes, materials, and patterns. Serving up kooky design that's eclectic yet tightly curated, the Memphis look is exuberant, outrageous, and entertaining. Who doesn't want a bit of that?

Spanning the worlds of interiors, furniture, fashion, and graphics, this new design book explores how the rule-breaking Memphis aesthetic continues to shape the modern creative scene. It started with Millennial Pink. Now the sweet shop colors, terrazzo floors, and curved cartoon shapes have been given a black outline and made graphic and cool.

In More is More, editor Claire Bingham curates iconic Memphis designs and interiors alongside contemporary projects steeped in the effervescent Memphis mood. Step inside stunning, postmodernism-loving homes, studios, and hotels, capturing the Memphis spirit with their hello-there hues, vive la différence mindset, and flamboyant creativity - all hopefully, in the teeth of good taste. And along the way, hear from fashion-forward creatives embracing the Memphis look, as well as from Memphis Group founding member Peter Shire--a man who knows that stripes make you happy. Shire shares the stories behind the signature high-energy style and tells us how the '80s vibe has impacted his life and work. For both the leaders and followers of the New Wave, Memphis is more than a style. It's an attitude.
