Memphis Parana bowl

Memphis Parana is a ceramic bowl by Memphis Milano, designed by Masanori Umeda in 1983. This iconic piece interprets the visual language of the Memphis movement with wit and creativity, playing with organic shapes, chromatic contrasts and a bold composition. The shaped, hand-painted ceramic body is defined by blue spheres at the base, which appear to dynamically suspend and balance the structure, creating a lively dialogue between white and blue. The name Parana draws inspiration from the great rivers of Latin America, evoking fluidity and movement in the very composition of the object.

The hand-painted ceramic gives this bowl a craftsmanship quality that enhances its identity as a collectible design piece. Measuring 400 mm in width, 370 mm in depth and 90 mm in height, Parana lends itself perfectly as both a decorative and functional table object, capable of enlivening any interior with its scenic presence. An object that elevates the everyday into an aesthetic gesture, ideal for the living room or the kitchen of those who seek pieces with a distinctive and unmistakable character.
