Memphis Emerald storage unit

Memphis Emerald is a storage unit by Memphis Milano, designed by Nathalie du Pasquier in 1985. Crafted from wood covered with decorative laminate and wood essence veneer, this iconic piece challenges traditional aesthetic conventions through a playful and surprising visual language. The bold juxtaposition of natural materials and geometric patterns generates an alienating yet captivating visual effect, where the two-dimensional and three-dimensional overlap in a continuous dialogue between abstract and figurative representation.

The surfaces of Emerald are animated by graphic motifs that evoke a surreal world, where every detail is conceived to inspire awe rather than follow a purely functional logic. The entire composition is shot through with a playful tension that reflects the spirit of the Memphis collective: breaking the rules of conventional good taste to assert a new aesthetic built on irony, contrasts and expressive freedom. With its dimensions of 1900 mm in height, 1000 mm in width and 400 mm in depth, Emerald commands a scenographic presence in any setting, transforming a simple storage unit into a visual and sensory manifesto. It is the ideal choice to enrich a living room or any residential environment that aspires to express a bold and original personality.
