Padma Cabinet

Display cabinet designed by Ettore Sottsass for Memphis Milano, 2000.

Part of the Mobili Lunghi collection, presented at the Post Design Gallery in 2000, Padma transforms the display cabinet into a small architectural structure. Its vertical glass body is supported by a base in yellow aniline-stained maple and completed by a matching capital, bringing together transparency and colour in a composition that suggests the form of a miniature tower. Brass shelf supports and an internal halogen light emphasise its display function, giving it a luminous, sculptural presence. Produced under the Post Design label, launched by Memphis in 1997 for its later editions, it retains Sottsass’s distinctive narrative language.
