Memphis Le Palme bookcase

Memphis Le Palme is a storage bookcase designed by Gerard Taylor for Memphis Milano in 1983, an authentic expression of the experimental and unconventional language that made the Memphis movement a revolution in contemporary design. The composition is built around a sophisticated interplay of geometric joints and colour contrasts, where each element appears distinct and independent while contributing to a dynamic and asymmetrical formal balance. The central black storage unit becomes the visual core of the entire structure, giving rhythm and stability to the overall composition.

Made of wood covered with decorative laminate and enriched with metal and glass elements, Le Palme combines functionality with aesthetic experimentation in a piece full of character. Measuring 1730 mm in height, 1560 mm in width and 500 mm in depth, this bookcase offers an architectural and scenographic presence that makes it suitable both as a storage unit and as a room divider. Le Palme interprets space through graphic lightness and vibrant colours, becoming an iconic and versatile statement piece — ideal for a living room with personality, a creative studio or contemporary contract interiors.
