In the 1960-1970&#8217;s minimalism was about straight lines and structure. To go against that, Sottass (the person who created this style) centred him and the group thought to be \u201cradical, funny and outrageous\u201d to disregard what everyone else was doing. His group set out to design furniture, patterns, ceramics, and fabric designs that were inspired by pop art and art deco.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main features of Memphis Design were:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Bold patterns,<\/strong> mainly using triangles, circles and squiggles.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Colour clashes<\/strong>, often using neon colours.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Stripes<\/strong>, using black and white to contrast the neon shapes.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/10650991\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/469\/2023\/04\/image-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-398\" width=\"479\" height=\"306\" srcset=\"https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/10650991\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/469\/2023\/04\/image-1.png 313w, https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/10650991\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/469\/2023\/04\/image-1-300x192.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 479px) 85vw, 479px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/10650991\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/469\/2023\/04\/image-2-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-399\" width=\"216\" height=\"216\" srcset=\"https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/10650991\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/469\/2023\/04\/image-2.png 1024w, https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/10650991\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/469\/2023\/04\/image-2-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/10650991\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/469\/2023\/04\/image-2-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/10650991\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/469\/2023\/04\/image-2-768x768.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 216px) 85vw, 216px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/10650991\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/469\/2023\/04\/image-4.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-401\" width=\"225\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/10650991\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/469\/2023\/04\/image-4.png 200w, https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/10650991\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/469\/2023\/04\/image-4-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 85vw, 225px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p>I created some art in the style of Memphis Design, I used bright neon colours for the shapes and white for the lines and squiggles.
