Memphis Cauliflower bowl

Memphis Cauliflower is a ceramic bowl designed by Nathalie Du Pasquier for Memphis Milano, one of the most iconic names of the Memphis movement founded by Ettore Sottsass in 1981. The name, deliberately recalling a vegetable, contrasts with the object's actual function, revealing the designer's characteristic taste for paradox and irony. Made of turned ceramic, the bowl is embellished with a unique decorative motif: pink spots with black outlines stand out against a bright yellow background, creating an energetic and instantly recognisable visual effect.

The decorative decals are fixed through oven sublimation, ensuring a vivid and long-lasting chromatic result. The design plays on the interplay between simple forms and elaborate decorations, transforming a functional object into a true collectible piece of art. With a diameter of 290 mm, this bowl works beautifully as a decorative accent or as a fruit bowl on the table, bringing bold colour and distinctive character to any domestic setting. A perfect statement piece for the living room or the kitchen, the Cauliflower was created in 1985 and remains one of the most recognisable symbols of the Memphis aesthetic.
