Super Lamp replica
Memphis Group designer Martine Bedin's Super Lamp on wheels can be trailed along like a dog on a leash, demonstrating the collective's playful style. Produced as part of the group's first exhibition, the Super Lamp was described by the designer as "like a small dog that I could carry with me". With exposed light bulbs splayed out from its arced back like the armour of a stegosaurus and four wheels that allowed it to be dragged along, the lamp – at Bedin's admission – is among "the more funny ones" in the group's debut collection from 1981. The bold forms and bright colours championed by the Memphis Group – and present in the Super Lamp – drew a large amount of media attention and a very mixed response from the public.
Dimensions: W 45, H 30 cm.
Material: fiberglass, metal, rubber.
