Montreal-based design studio mpgmb introduces its latest design, which is a shelf entitled 'Going Back to Memphis.' It features design elements that are reminiscent of the 80s, translated by its vibrant hues and prominent patterning throughout the structure. The design features asymmetrical accents, a plethora of geometric shapes, and a wide color palette.
The fusion of all these elements results in abstract designs that are also just as functional. The color palette highlights hues of blue, yellow, pink, orange, and monochromatic black and white. The structure of the Going Back to Memphis shelf resembles building blocks as well, to give it a touch of playfulness. The surfaces that sit in between are wooden planks and boast round ends.
