  Memphis Design Group   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
Memphis explored a visual language outside of the limiting canons of "good taste," blurring the boundaries between "high" or popular culture and mass-produced "ordinary" consumer goods.
The group was founded by Ettore Sottsass on 11 December 1980, and resolved to meet again with their designs in February 1981.
Memphis represented a point of no return for Italian design, a declaration of war on the past — and, equally, of surrender to the future — by a generation of designers that is today having difficulty rediscovering the anti-classical sparkle.

Memphis Tours however were happy for me to visit their office and pay there.

 Memphis
Attention might have been diverted from Memphis' fl music community with the rise of rockabilly, but RandB would reassert itself as the dominant musical force in the city in the 1960s, principally due to the success of Stax Records, which embodied the earthiest aspects of southern soul.
Stax's pre-emminence in the Memphis soul scene was not absolute; smaller labels in the region, particularly Goldwax, also made some notable contributions to the 1960s, although their exposure was primarily confined to the RandB market or, after the 1960s, specialist collectors.
Memphis looked set to reign as an RandB capital for a long time, yet by the end of the 1970s it commercial clout and influence was drastically diminished, due primarily to the tragic collapse of the Stax empire.*
