Defined by a fearless spirit, mix of clashing colors, irreverent materials and theatrical style, the style of the 1980s continues to influence modern day interiors. Many designers reflected this cool style in their modern works, and these furniture pieces look so eye-catching! For example, these Memphis-inspired pedestal tables by Norwegian designers Vera & Kyte contrast granite tops with brightly colored lacquered steel frames. Mixed media textiles graduate Gemma Kay Waggett’s embroidered ‘Beyond Woven’ stool is part of a collection of furnishings that layers abstract geometric patterns in vibrant colors. Philadelphia-based designer Brendan Timmins’ ‘Zolo’ lamps are constructed using parts taken from Zolo – an ’80s building-block kit game for kids.
