Description
Probably the most iconic of all Ettore Sottsass’ designs, the colourful Carlton is half room divider, half bookcase and full size sculptural marvel. Designed in 1981, the Carlton formed part of the first ever collection by the then recently formed Memphis Group. The bookcase itself consists of coloured laminate shelves with angled supports at varying degrees and two pull-out drawers at its centre. This post-modern design classic is from an un-limited edition, is individually numbered and sold with a ‘certificate of authenticity’…Bloomin’ Memphis!
