The founder of Superstudio, Adolfo Natalini, invited her to Milan in 1979, where she met Michele De Lucchi and Ettore Sottsass.

Her work is exhibited in major museums and private collections, such as the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris and the Manufacture Nationale de Sèvre.Memphis Milano is the great cultural phenomenon of the 1980s that revolutionized creative and commercial logics in design. Born from the idea of Ettore Sottsass and a group of young designers and architects, in Milan, coupled in the years by famous designers from the international scene, Memphis turned upside down all of the existing parameters on living. Ettore Sottsass as the backbone of the group, design gained a new concept and expression through new shapes, materials and patterns, expanding the creative limits of the industry. Memphis became a symbol of new design. Its influence is still clear in various sectors of production and beyond.Additional info:- Collection: Memphis Milano- Designer: Martine Bedin- Year: 1981- Floor lamp.
