May 26, 2015 by Kate Leave a Comment

For today’s edition of Retro-Modern Roundup, we’re taking a look at new designs that channel Memphis style. Vivid colors and bold forms dominate the images above, and the styling is so fabulous, the featured items look good enough to eat! Read on for links and details…

TOP ROW (L to R):

My friend Jonathan Lo of Happy Mundane created a vibrant picnic party concept, complete with bright cloth and paper goods, as well as free printable macaroni-patterned paper cone templates.

Baba Souk offers a range of whimsical sculptural necklaces that channel Memphis style. It’s all about the interplay of color and shape (with the occasional tassel)!

BOTTOM CLUSTER (Clockwise from the top left):

Have you browsed the ’80s-fabulous finds of Stereo Tennis? From iPhone cases to T-shirts, the style is undeniably retro, with a heavy focus on Memphis motifs.

Many of today’s top DIY projects involve brushstroke-style markings that evoke Memphis flair. The bright painted cup featured above comes from I Spy DIY.

Check out the radiant still life photography of Eva Roovers. You know, if you haven’t yet spotted it all over Pinterest!

Stampel offers a range of hand painted treasures, such as the Elliptical Wall Piece/Jewelry Hanger featured at the bottom right of today’s montage.

See the lavender striped glass above? This stylish DIY project was created by Paper & Stitch. Yes, folks, you don’t have to spend a fortune to build up your glassware collection. Paint the designs of your dreams!

Dear Confetti cap from Marta Veludo and Restored–we love the way you’ve been photographed and styled as much as we love your limited-edition design!

Thanks for joining us for our latest edition of Retro-Modern Roundup. This is an exciting time for modern design (especially if you’re a fan of retro style). We plan to celebrate every minute of it…
