In 1985, Maria Sanchez created Squash, a series of hand-turned and hand-painted ceramic bowls made up of three parts in multiple colour combinations: the first piece made by the designer had a blue base and a yellow bowl, crossed diagonally by an oblong red block. Stacked geometric shapes generate a captivating dynamic, asymmetrical composition for this versatile Memphis Milano piece.

Memphis Milano is an Italian design group founded in Milan in 1980, bringing together architects, creators, and designers. Its founder, Ettore Sottsass, chose the name Memphis because it refers both to the Tennessee city where Elvis Presley was born and to the capital of ancient Egypt. Memphis Milano introduced a new form of expression through design. The movement gained significant recognition after showcasing 55 pieces, including furniture, lamps, and ceramic objects, at the Arc’74 gallery during the Milan Furniture Fair in 1981. Memphis Milano draws inspiration from the radical design movement of the 1960s.
