In his latest exhibition, Francesco Vezzoli delves into the lesser-known design sensibilities of Karl Lagerfeld through 'KARL GOES TO MEMPHIS - Tribute to a historic encounter in Monte Carlo.' Running from March 20 to May 24 at Almine Rech Monaco, the exhibit connects Lagerfeld's personal taste to the irreverent Memphis design movement. Showcasing his past immersion in Memphis's bold, chaotic aesthetics, the exhibit reconstructs Lagerfeld's living spaces with artifacts, offering a unique view into his artistic mind beyond conventional elegance.
Lagerfeld's immersion in the bold forms, clashing colors, and rule-breaking geometry that defined Memphis design offers another layer to his well-known visual drama.
Vezzoli’s exhibition reconstructs the atmosphere of Lagerfeld’s Monte Carlo apartment, showcasing Memphis design as not just furniture, but a radical shift in aesthetic experience.
