- "Alaska" Vase, 1982 - Italian architect and designer Ettore Sottsass founded the Memphis Group in 1980. "Memphis Group" is often used interchangeably with the style it epitomized--Postmodernism. Purposefully outrageous, the Postmodern works that Sotsass and his Memphis Group co-members designed challenged conventions of "good" taste. Their designs were colorful and loud, sometimes referential to earlier eras, geometric, and often humorous.
