Georges Briard’s pieces from his Memphis period are sought after by collectors of Mid-Century Pop Art-style home decor. These pieces featured bold geometric shapes, vibrant color combinations, and playful patterns.

A chrome yellow square shaped bucket with a black lid is decorated with knobs and handles in turquoise, red, and black. Applied yellow plastic corners and footing. There is a removable white plastic liner.

Briard was inspired by the Memphis Group Art Movement, a design collective founded in Milan by Ettore Sottsass in 1981. The movement was known for a playful, pop-art inspired style using bold colors, geometric shapes, and kitschy patterns made of plastic laminates. The movement had a major impact, influencing pop culture, fashion, architecture.

A piece of design history with great color.
