"Are you familiar with postmodern design? Is postmodern furniture experiencing a resurgence? An exhibition of Ettore Sottsass's work is also being held!

While modernism, which pursued rationality and functionality, forms the foundation of contemporary architecture and design, it also faced criticism in the 1960s and 70s for becoming too homogenized.

It was in this context that postmodernism emerged in the 80s as a value system that transcended modernism. This design movement, which built an era with its sculptural forms and pop color schemes, was centered around the Milan-based design group Memphis. This summer, the first full-scale retrospective exhibition of Ettore Sottsass, the group's leader, is being held in Japan.

In addition, reproductions of spaces and furniture created by Japanese designers, from Shiro Kuramata and Masanori Umeda to Shigeru Uchida and Akio Ohashi, who were members of Memphis, are also underway.
More and more people are incorporating postmodern products into their interiors.
