Memphis Hyatt coffee table Ettore Sottsass 1984

Memphis Hyatt is a low coffee table by Memphis Milano, designed by Ettore Sottsass in 1984, that perfectly embodies the radical and reflective spirit of the Memphis movement. Presented today as a cult object, Hyatt stands out for its solid, well-calibrated proportions, in which a wood veneer finish dialogues with chrome-plated metal elements, creating a balance between warm materiality and industrial precision. With a width and depth of 430 mm and a height of 420 mm, the coffee table takes on a compact, self-contained form capable of inhabiting a space with both discretion and remarkable presence.

Hyatt is not simply a piece of furniture: it is a fragment of the Sottsassian vision, a design that reflects an anthropological idea of functionality, far removed from the logic of marketing and close instead to the meaning of objects in everyday life. It does not impose itself through ostentation, but through charisma — in its apparent simplicity lies a deep thought that blends rigour and irony, aesthetics and reflection. It is the ideal choice for a distinctive living room, where design becomes storytelling and every object speaks of time and the way we live.
