George Sowden worked in the office of Ettore Sottsass for
the Olivetti Company for a number of yets, and joined the
Memphis group with him in 1981. His bed is a typically
massive and uncompromising design decorated with
brilliantly coloured patterns. Nathalie du Pasquier designed
the first fabrics that Memphis produced, and her duvet
designs were acquired as examples of contemporary textile
production, which has always been a major concern of the
Museum.
