About the Item
This striking wall sculpture is a vibrant example of Italian postmodern design, echoing the bold spirit of the Memphis movement of the 1980s. Composed of four vertically aligned panels, the pieces are framed by a sweeping, serpentine outer structure in a brushed silver finish that gives the work its fluid, kinetic presence. Within the frame, layered panels of colors in red, yellow, blue, green, burgundy, and pink—form concentric, organic shapes that playfully defy symmetry and convention.
While the maker is unknown, the aesthetic is unmistakably rooted in the Memphis-inspired design wave led by Ettore Sottsass and his contemporaries, characterized by its daring use of geometry, color, and expressive form. The combination of sculptural framing and graphic, color-blocked inlays creates a dynamic visual rhythm reminiscent of movement, music, or a stylized DNA strand.
Highly versatile, the four individual panels can be mounted as wall art (as pictured) or assembled to serve as a folding screen, allowing the piece to function as both sculpture and design object.
A true statement piece, this artwork brings high-impact visual energy to any interior—ideal for postmodern or Memphis-inspired spaces, contemporary settings seeking a burst of color, or creative environments that embrace bold, unconventional design.
