Many of the examples featured below are from the last five years, and some of them see original Memphis Group members returning to form.

Contemporary creatives are also putting a fresh spin on the Memphis design aesthetic, such as London-based French designer Camille Walala , who graduated from the University of Brighton in While the patterns and shapes are familiar, in the modern revival bold primary colours are supplemented by mellow teals and soft pinks, blended with greys as well as the trademark stark black-and-white. Refined production methods and more high-end materials have also increased the quality of the products themselves — but the retro appeal and rebellious spirit remains strong.

The original Memphis Group created a wide range of bizarre creations that won celebrity fans from Karl Lagerfeld to David Bowie. The Ashoka lamp is one of them — but arguably the most iconic of all, and therefore the perfect start to this list, is Ettore Sottsass' Carlton.

Built from sections of laminated MDF, the Carlton could be seen as a bookcase, a room divider or a dresser — or all three — but like many of the Memphis Group's creations, it seems equally comfortable as a modern art installation. Even if you could afford one, you'd need a substantial living room to house it, as the Carlton is enormous — almost two metres square.

It's also the perfect checklist for the Memphis style: a bold colour palette, strong, stark lines, and a geometric structure: its various partitions, voids and shelves are based around a system of equilateral triangles.

Most people would argue the Apple Watch was released in , and they'd be right. But the high-end glossy touchscreen smart watch wasn't technically Apple's first attempt: 20 years earlier, it had a Memphis-inspired predecessor.

Part of a marketing drive, the quartz-faced, analogue timepiece was never actually sold as a standalone item, but offered as a freebie if you upgraded to Mac System 7. Long before the modern-day Memphis revival, this watch kept the aesthetic alive in the mids with a bold, simple design based on geometric shapes, bold primary colours, and a delightfully playful squiggle for a second-hand.

After Sottsass' death, interest in the Memphis style began to grow. It influenced high fashion houses Missoni, Karl Lagerfeld and Christian Dior, and the latter's collection helped kick-start the modern movement in earnest.

Bold, graphic black-and-white stripes and crazy-paving-style graphics; vibrant contrasting palettes, and patterns defined by simple shapes and squiggles; and pure, chunky geometric shapes worn as headgear combined to make the catwalk show a must-have checklist of Memphis inspiration. And once Katy Perry donned one of the collection's utterly unmissable outfits at the MTV Video Music Awards later that year, there was no going back: Memphis was firmly on the world's radar.

Two years after Christian Dior wowed the fashion world, Memphis-inspired patterns and designs were everywhere at Milan Design Week Original Memphis Group member Nathalie Du Pasquier applied her distinctive graphic patterns to a rug produced by La Chance, revealed at the show. Like a visual crib-sheet of Memphis motifs, Du Pasquier's Tapigri rug features simple 3D silhouettes of cubes, decorated by rough monochrome patterns, on a background of overlapping dark blue squares and circles — with a bright primary-yellow trim.
