Notes from the Archive: George Sowden was a founding member of the Memphis group and his work was included in each of the four collections. His early notable designs include the D'Antibes Cabinet, Oberoi Armchair, Palace Chairs, Metropole Clock, as well as patterns for laminates and textiles. In this Interior we see his patterns used for wallpaper, carpets and flooring, along with his Palace chairs, D'Antibes cabinet, and major Savoy cabinet. Note a framed version of this silkscreen graces the wall. It is easy to imagine that the Memphis designers simply concocted radical designs without a thought as to how we would live with them. In truth, they were deeply committed to a vision of life with new ideas of design. Sowden's silkscreens were important for placing New Design into the context of domestic life.
