In every industry, particularly in design, it’s inevitable for a trend that was “in” decades ago to come back and reign once more. This is the case with Memphis textures. Most people may have already seen this design before but are unaware of its name. If you’re one of them, let’s have a quick overview of the Memphis design.

Though it may sound like a perfect band name or a design movement, “Memphis” was inspired by a Bob Dylan song, Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again. Italian furniture designer Ettore Sottsass and his group of friends – also furniture designers – were in a meeting when Dylan’s song played in the background. The meeting was about creating designs outside of the box. They proposed to push the boundaries of creative design where they would celebrate and create what others deemed as “wrong” in terms of design styles and concepts. The ‘rebel’ group adopted “Memphis” as their name to mark the significance of their assembly. And so, the Memphis Group was born – and the Memphis design followed.

At its core, the Memphis design is a combination of several existing design movements. Art Deco inspires the most prominent style – so there are always geometric figures present in Memphis textures. Another style they’ve adopted is Pop Art, which is evident in the way the design uses bold palettes.

The Memphis design peaked from 1981 to 1987. Its strong geometric figures, mix-and-match motifs, and clashing bright colors became the hallmark of postmodern 80s design.

Today, the Memphis design is back. Many designers in various fields and niches use a touch of Memphis design to create their own collection. The shocking pop of color and figures of the design can instantly draw the attention of many which make it an excellent style for advertising design concepts.
