ReplyDeletelooks all cool, but branzi was already somewhere else what a great piece. can you find that for me mr. mondoblogo ?
ReplyDeleteLagerfeld had the best collection of Memphis by far since he knew Sottsass and ordered almost every piece, even prototypes and one of a kind Memphis pieces that I've never seen. We are planning a museum exhibition of Memphis design in 2014. Updates will be made through my Facebook page.
