The coffee set features conical cups with triangular bases, both of which are hallmarks of Memphis Milano's postmodern design language. The cups and pots seem to defy traditional forms, incorporating sharp angles and contrasting shapes. The set uses a black-and-white color palette, enhancing the stark contrasts that the Memphis style is known for. The monochromatic theme emphasizes the geometric shapes, making them even more striking. The set includes several items, such as cups with black or white triangular stands and a matching coffee pot that follows the same angular, sculptural design. The teapot and sugar container appear to have quirky, asymmetrical lids or spouts, which further adds to the playful and eccentric feel. Memphis Style Known for its radical approach to design in the 1980s, the Memphis Milano style emphasizes boldness, irregular shapes, and a departure from the minimalism of earlier modernist designs. This coffee set, with its striking angular shapes and color contrasts, is a perfect example of that ethos. This coffee set would be a statement piece for any table, embodying the playfulness and daring spirit of postmodern design. The set is composed by a coffee pot, a sugar bowl, and six coffee cup with plates. See less
