Cucumber is an eccentric ceramic vase designed by Martine Bedin in 1985. The chubby, asymmetrical and dynamic shape is enhanced by the lively combination of colours and the original decorative motif, with curved blue lines on the white surface. The rounded shape, which refers to the name, rests on a black cylindrical base and is cut diagonally at the top by a bright yellow ring. Published by Memphis Milano, the Cucumber vase features organic lines and vibrant colours.

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.
