How drab the palettes of today have become. We knew the moment grey was being advertised to children\u2014who have yet to fully develop their rods and cones\u2014that we were on a distinctly more boring path. Color reflects the brilliance of our natural world, and has even been shown to make us happier overall, certain hues lifting our mood simply by entering our field of vision. Memphis Milano, established in the eighties in Italy, signaled a release from Modernist conventions and was both revered and reviled by critics and the public. Memphis Style<\/strong><\/a> has been described as \u201ca shotgun wedding between Bauhaus and Fisher-Price.\u201d<\/p>\n

Prism Stack Glasses<\/p><\/div>\n

Forever fans of nonconformity, the Cedric Mitchell x JOOPITER<\/strong> <\/a>collaboration embodies the spirit of these trailblazers, yet filters it through a distinctly contemporary lens. Released as part of JOOPITER Marketplace<\/strong>\u2014an always-on, buy-it-now platform offering direct access to the personal collections and archives of influential cultural figures\u2014the collection situates Mitchell\u2019s work within a broader ecosystem of cultural artifacts, where provenance and narrative carry equal weight to form. Texture, color, and transparency all play major roles here, with high-gloss and satin finishes lending a frozen, almost suspended quality to frosted surfaces. Ideals of contrast and constraint emerge to define a new Memphis, where color is not merely decorative, but declarative.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/a>

Modern Funk Jacket II<\/p><\/div>\n

Each piece brings its own unique flavor. Mitchell\u2019s practice\u2014operating at the intersection of craft, utility, and visual culture\u2014draws from a wide spectrum of references including \u201890s hip-hop and retro streetwear to graffiti and childhood iconography. Color, in this context, becomes emotional currency, triggering responses that feel at once nostalgic and immediate. Thick, hand-blown glass cylinders transition gracefully into seating and sculptural forms, emphasizing tactility and the push-pull of saturated tones. Totemic silhouettes emerge throughout, their stacked geometries lending the objects an almost anthropomorphic presence\u2014creatures of color that mirror our enduring fascination with the natural and the constructed alike.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/a>

Modern Funk Jacket I<\/p><\/div>\n

Continue reading to get a glimpse of Mitchell’s world as saccharine hues stack, bend, and spill into various forms. What you’ll see is a cast of colorful characters\u2013playful, a little off-balance, and entirely alive\u2014each one speaking fluently in the language of Modern Funk…<\/p>\n

\"A<\/a>

Primary Portal I<\/p><\/div>\n

Primary Portal I<\/strong>
\nPrimary Portal I opens a threshold. Bold geometric framing surrounds a mirrored center, pulling the surrounding space into the work itself. It\u2019s furniture, object, and environment all at once\u2014always shifting with light and reflection.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/a>

Playhaus Perch Chair<\/p><\/div>\n

Playhaus Perch Chair<\/strong>
\nThe Playhaus Perch Chair brings Mitchell\u2019s language into the realm of sitting. Lacquered geometry meets soft lambskin upholstery, turning a chair into a sculptural experience. It invites use, but never loses its presence.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/a>

Art Deco Diaspora<\/p><\/div>\n

Diaspora Deco Chair<\/strong>
\nDiaspora Deco Chair bridges eras. Glossy, architectural forms meet plush lambskin, reinterpreting Art Deco through a Modern Funk lens. It\u2019s grounded yet expressive, where history and experimentation sit side by side.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/a>

Plonko<\/p><\/div>\n

Plonko<\/strong>
\nA quiet detour, Plonko trades gloss for a fully sandblasted finish, letting form do the talking. Soft volumes intersect at subtle angles, holding motion in suspension like a paused gesture. It\u2019s restrained, tactile, and just a little mysterious\u2014a study in what happens when Mitchell turns the volume down.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/a>

Petal Stack<\/p><\/div>\n

Petal Stack<\/strong>
\nPetal Stack rises like a bloom mid-thought, each hand-blown element stacking into a rhythmic ascent. A chartreuse base anchors the piece before lavender and deep pink nodes lead to a soft, petal-like bowl. Equal parts vessel and sculpture, it softens geometry with a floral exhale.<\/p>\n

\"Colorful<\/a>

Play Loud<\/p><\/div>\n

Play Loud<\/strong>
\nAs the name suggests, Play Loud doesn\u2019t whisper. A lapis dome, electric rings, and a saucer crown collide in a glossy, saturated stack that feels both retro and futuristic. It\u2019s a totem of joy\u2014bold, buoyant, and impossible to ignore.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/a>

Verdant Oracle<\/p><\/div>\n

Verdant Oracle<\/strong>
\nVerdant Oracle reads like a prophecy in color. A striped green base grounds the piece while a violet sphere and magenta ring give way to an asymmetrical teal rise. Pattern, gloss, and proportion work together to create something that feels both ancient and electric.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/a>

Zestrel<\/p><\/div>\n

Zestrel<\/strong>
\nZestrel is a balancing act in full color. Teal, chartreuse, orange, and turquoise stack into a tower that feels both precise and playful. Its glossy surface sharpens every hue, turning structure into spectacle.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/a>

Groovy Sprout<\/p><\/div>\n

Groovy Sprout<\/strong>
\nWith its matte finish and pastel palette, Groovy Sprout softens the tempo. A chartreuse dome anchors frosted violet and translucent blue forms, punctuated by a ring with a circular void. It\u2019s light, architectural, and just a little dreamy.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/a>

Bubble Funk<\/p><\/div>\n

Bubble Funk<\/strong>
\nBubble Funk leans into contrast\u2014rigid meets fluid, polished meets playful. A lapis cylinder grounds a pink ring dotted with blue nubs, while a red twisting form rises like a gesture mid-dance. It\u2019s kinetic, cheeky, and full of attitude.<\/p>\n

\"Colorful,<\/a>

Primary Assembly I<\/p><\/div>\n

Primary Assembly I<\/strong>
\nA study in structure, Primary Assembly I builds from intersecting planes and rounded forms. Its lacquered yellow finish amplifies the clarity of composition, turning geometry into a bold spatial statement. It\u2019s furniture, yes\u2014but it behaves like sculpture.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/a>

Moonstruck<\/p><\/div>\n

Moonstruck<\/strong>
\nMoonstruck tilts toward the unexpected. A lapis base and chartreuse sphere give way to a turquoise spiral and an off-axis blue vessel with a glowing amber interior. The imbalance is deliberate, lending the piece a quiet, cosmic energy.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/a>

Triovo<\/p><\/div>\n

Triovo<\/strong>
\nTriovo plays with expectation. A flared teal base supports magenta forms and a vivid orange sphere before an angular wedge breaks symmetry at the top. It\u2019s precise, but never rigid\u2014always just slightly off.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/a>

Orbolo<\/p><\/div>\n

Orbolo<\/strong>
\nTexture takes center stage in Orbolo. A cratered violet base, dotted sphere, and ribbed stem build into a tactile, matte composition that invites touch. Its totemic form feels grounded, even as it lifts visually.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/a>

Halo Study<\/p><\/div>\n

Halo Study<\/strong>
\nHalo Study is a vertical meditation on form. A lapis cone rises into a spiral, sphere, and disc, each element articulating a clear progression. Balanced yet animated, it\u2019s as crisp as it is playful.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/a>

Badu Bloom<\/p><\/div>\n

Bada Bloom<\/strong>
\nBada Bloom grows upward in a rhythmic burst of color. From a grounded teal base, dotted and ringed forms lead into a swelling pink column crowned with a dome. It\u2019s symmetrical, but never static\u2014always in bloom.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/a>

Counterweight<\/p><\/div>\n

Counterweight<\/strong>
\nCounterweight finds equilibrium in contrast. A warm orange base meets a violet hinge and teal lift, culminating in a tilted chartreuse bowl. The off-axis top keeps the piece alive, always in gentle tension.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/a>

Bendrix<\/p><\/div>\n

Bendrix<\/strong>
\nBendrix curves with intention. An amber column arcs upward from a green base, punctuated by red rings and a translucent collar before opening into a flared cup. It\u2019s fluid, off-center, and quietly dynamic.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/a>

Ettore’s Echo<\/p><\/div>\n

Ettore\u2019s Echo<\/strong>
\nA nod with a twist, Ettore\u2019s Echo channels postmodern lineage through a slender, stacked form. A lapis shaft rises through a spiral and sphere before ending in a tilted violet vessel. It honors the past, but refuses to sit still.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/a>

Primary Pivot<\/p><\/div>\n

Primary Pivot<\/strong>
\nPrimary Pivot turns balance into a question. A chartreuse base, red joint, and blue cylinder stack into a composition that feels both stable and on the verge of motion. Functional as a vessel, it reads as something more sculptural\u2014almost architectural.<\/p>\n
