How Postmodernism Changed the World
In this film clip, George Sowden talks about how in the 1960s, modernism placed a lot of rules on design and restricted research. In an attempt to break away from feeling trapped by modernism, he produced a series of paintings which later formed the basis for the decorative finishes he added to the modernist style furniture he exhibited in the first Memphis show in 1981. Designers in the Memphis group worked in very different ways. The perceived unity of the Memphis group is discussed, and how it was the images of the pieces they produced, rather than the objects themselves, that went onto to change the future of design.
