The absolute Memphis icon, Carlton, designed by Sottsass in 1981, fully represents the programmatic intentions of the group: the desire to break the rules of good design with an irreverent, unorthodox and conscious spirit. With its vaguely anthropomorphic design it can also be utilized as a divider, revolutionizing the functionalist logic of living space.
