Memphis Broccoli bowl

Memphis Broccoli is an iconic ceramic fruit bowl designed by Marco Zanini for Memphis Milano in 1985. Crafted from hand-painted ceramic, it embodies the spirit of the Memphis movement: bold geometric shapes, vivid primary colours and a deliberately unconventional aesthetic that transforms a functional object into a true domestic sculpture. The composition is built on three stacked elements — a circular blue base, a staggered red square and a white bowl — combining into a dynamic and visually striking balance, with a diameter of 350 mm.

Broccoli is far more than a fruit bowl: it is a work of art to live with, destined to become the focal point of any room. The deliberate break from the traditional symmetry of functional objects, combined with primary colours and geometric forms, conveys a sense of lightness and irony that makes this piece instantly recognisable. A perfect statement piece for the living room or the kitchen, Broccoli celebrates the creative freedom and experimentation that made Memphis Milano an essential reference in international design throughout the 1980s and beyond.
