48 p, ills colour & bw, 17 x 22 cm, pb, Born in Bordeaux, Du Pasquier moved to Milan to co found the Memphis Design Group with Ettore Sottsass. She is now a famous Italian artist, famous for her designs on textile and jewelry, on furniture and pattern - but she is most famous for the literal buoyancy, joy and treat of her designs. You know it is a Nathalie du Pasquier in a moment - it was the very fuel of Memphis and Memphis is the very fuel of making a day, a room, a piece, a thought, a little more fun. Lovely book.
