Memphis dish Rucola

Memphis dish Rucola is a ceramic serving dish designed by Ettore Sottsass for Memphis Milano in 1985. Entirely white, the dish is decorated with a black graphic motif composed of small dot-like spots arranged across the surface with an air of apparent randomness. The contrast between the immaculate background and the minimalist decoration creates an effect of lightness and spontaneity, transforming an everyday object into a refined and conceptual visual experience. With a diameter of 300 mm, it offers a generous format well suited to elegant table presentations.

The name "Rucola" adds a characteristically Sottsassian touch of irony, evoking a vegetable imagery that finds no direct reflection in the visual details of the dish, yet invites mental play and challenges the conventions between form and meaning. A true collector's piece, the Memphis Milano Rucola dish is equally at home in the kitchen and in the living room, where it can be displayed as a decorative object that effortlessly enhances contemporary and design-led interiors.
