    The difference between Memphis and Art Deco is that the terms refer to two different design styles. Art Deco emerged in the 1920s, and its pieces often flaunt bold geometric lines and forms, floral motifs and ornamental details, such as mirrored finishes and inlays of mother-of-pearl or ivory. Named after the Memphis Group, which formed in 1980, Memphis design emphasizes freedom of expression, dizzying patterns and off-the-wall colors. Some people describe it as Art Deco meets Pop art. On 1stDibs, find a collection of Art Deco and Memphis design furniture.

    Art and design are important for a few reasons. First, they allow people to express feelings and make commentaries on social issues and aspects of daily life, communicating messages that can resonate with others. Thoughtful designs can improve everyday life by making spaces more livable and people more comfortable, while art beautifies environments, making them more enjoyable to be in. Artists and designers demonstrate ingenuity and creativity in their works, inspiring others to do the same, leading to improvements in society. Plus, the art and design produced by a culture provide insight into their values, beliefs and challenges, providing a unique record for future generations studying history, sociology and anthropology.
