Memphis: Ettore Sottass - Carlton Bookcase 1980's
Aesthetics:
Variety of colours suggesting a fun, enjoyable and welcoming product
Pastel colours - soft and warm
Stone textured veneer on the base of the product to suggest that it is stable and sturdy
Veneered MDF (melamine) - improves perceived value
Form:
Person on the top - inviting, welcoming, gives human characteristics to the product so the user can bond with it
Straight lines, no curves - suggests a modern design. The designer has created the design with the materials he has used, which has limited the design because you cannot curve MDF
Symmetrical - power, stable and balanced
Other:
Focuses on Form rather than Function
