Memphis Palace chair

Memphis Palace is a lacquered wood chair by Memphis Milano, designed by George J. Sowden in 1983. The piece reinterprets the rationalist forms of design drawing from the clean lines of the Bauhaus, highlighting the structural elements through a bold use of colour: yellow, light blue and green contrast with the black seat, turning the structure itself into an expressive statement. The chair is crafted entirely from lacquered wood, with an essential geometry that clearly reveals the constructive logic of the piece.

Palace is an icon of postmodern design, bringing character and personality to any residential interior. Its compact dimensions — W49 × D45 × H95 cm — make it equally at home in formal settings and everyday spaces, from the kitchen to the living room. The fully lacquered wood construction ensures both solidity and visual consistency, while the distinctive colour palette makes it a collectible piece for admirers of Italian contemporary design history.
