About the Item

An Italian Memphys earrings designed by Cleto Munari. This is a fabulous pair of sculptural dangle earrings created in Padova Italy by Cleto Munari, back in the 1980's. The unusual Paduan school earrings have been crafted as a left and right pair in solid yellow gold of 18 karats with high polished finish. The earrings design is very aerodynamic, made up with solid planchettes with spirals and spherical terminals, which are set with two carved lapis lazuli gems. The Memphis Style Was emerged in 1981, when the Italian designer and architect Ettore Sottsass founded a group of artists and designers called Memphis. Bob Dylan’s song 'Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again' was playing on repeat during the group’s first meeting, which led to the group being named 'Memphis'. After the inaugural meeting, the group decided that they would meet again in February 1981. The members brought over 100 drawings with them, picturing a variety of bold, colorful designs with multiple stylistic influences. The Memphis Group went on to create furniture, fabrics, patterns, ceramics and other products in a distinctly Postmodern style that blended stylistic traits of 1950s kitsch, Art Deco, and Pop Art. If you love unashamedly brash and bold colors and patterns, you’ll be very happy to hear that the Memphis Style, the design style pioneered by the 1980s Memphis Group, is very much back in vogue.
