It's our final day for being inspired by the current trend for postmodern Memphis style design. The London store Darkroom have created a collection called So Sottsass as a tribute to the founder of the Memphis group Ettore Sottsass. The collection was designed by Darkroom directors Rhonda Drakeford and Lulu Roper-Caldbeck and includes plates, notebooks, and wrapping paper designs and you can view them all online here.
Now it's time for one final round-up on Memphis style and we start with a posters and notebooks from HeyShop.

Another of the Memphis movements founder members was Natalie Du Pasquier and some of her designs are currently in production with Third Drawer Down.

And finally I found a little bit more from the excellent Camille Walala, this time a collection for Gorman.
I hope you are enjoying this weeks Memphis inspired posts and are maybe thinking how to add a bit of postmodernism into your designs. Even if you don't go the whole way it might be as simple as adding a grid or dashes into your prints. Today we start with notebooks from Write Sketch &. This Milan based label is the work of Matteo Carrubba and Angela Tomasoni who pay tribute to Ettore Sottass and the Memphis Group with their Super! collection of notebooks.
