Memphis Broccoli bowl

Broccoli by Memphis Milano is an iconic fruit bowl that combines functionality and artistic design in an unmistakable style. Designed by Marco Zanini, this object stands out for its playful and bold aesthetic, a distinctive feature of the Memphis movement of the 1980s.

Made of hand-painted ceramic, Broccoli combines geometric shapes and primary colours to create a dynamic and visually striking balance. The circular blue base acts as a support for a red square that overlaps in a staggered fashion, culminating in a white bowl that completes the composition. This compositional approach breaks with the traditional symmetry of functional objects, transforming it into a sculpture with a strong visual impact.

Broccoli is not just a fruit bowl, but a work of domestic art that celebrates creative freedom and experimentation. The choice of shapes and colours evokes a sense of lightness and irony, making it a distinctive and highly recognisable piece, capable of attracting attention in any environment.
