Speaking of

Continuing with our love of all things Memphis, we're sharing two of our stories from the past several months featuring Memphis-related designers.

The first, Tête-à-Tête, is a wonderful conversation between madcap pattern lovers Nathalie Du Pasquier and Bethan Laura Wood. For this story, we asked Wood: If you could speak with anyone in the world, who would it be? Without blinking, she chose Du Pasquier, a French designer, painter, and sculptor—as well as a founding member of Memphis. Check out their discussion at Aram Gallery in London here.
