Sophie Coll believes that filling the room with the right accessories that have the Memphis inspiration is essential, it is the cherry on top. According to her “Thankfully, since the ’80s, in general, is having quite the comeback, it’s really become easy to find cool retro items that really align with my style.”. The designer elaborates, noting it was important to her to fill her home with a 50/50 split of new and recycled pieces. “Big statement pieces of furniture—like a solid colored couch—paired with patterned pillows and throws have been, I’ve found, the easiest way to instantly inject the Memphis spirit in a room.”

The Memphis Style always includes layering texture, shape, and pattern. These three together become the most simpler way to have this outstanding trend at home. Memphis-Milano is nothing if not a way to push the boundaries of cohesive design that aim for a ‘square peg in a round hole’ take on geometry and shape within a house.

Having color in the Memphis Style Renaissance is one of the most important parts. Never feel afraid to choose color, just embrace it. “Start with a color you love and turn up the volume on that color. Then begin to layer in elements that feel so wrong they are right. A little bit of clash can go a long way.”

The interior designer has a strong opinion on the Memphis Style, she believes that “More than anything else, I view the work coming out of the Memphis era as playful experiments; always thought-provoking, and always challenging our notions of art, design, and history.”
