A new movement in postmodern design appeared in the Europe and America at the early 1980s. The Italia design group Memphis became a predominant design style during the 1980s.In their architects and products designs They embraced the fantastic form and bright color palette. The function became less important. The Memphis and San Francisco schools
In the early 1980s, The design community and art schools in San Francisco emerged rapidly. With important contributions of graphic designers Michael Vanderbyl, Michael Manwaring, and Michael Cronin the city gained a reputation as a center of creative design. Those designers explored the harmony and composition of graphic possibilities. They conveyed a sunny and optimistic attitude in their work. The symbolic and intuitive form became a part of the arrangements.
“When it comes to design, I like to do it all,” says Michael Vanderbyl, whose life-long goal has been to merge traditionally segregated design forms like graphic design, product design and interior architecture. As evidenced by the work that has emerged from his San Francisco–based studio over the course of his 27-year career, Vanderbyl has attained this goal—and more. A century ago, Otto Wagner, Vienna’s pioneering modernist architect/designer, coined the famous term Gesamtkunstwerk—the total work of art—to describe what he believed was the ultimate creative attainment in the modern age. One hundred years later, Vanderbyl’s talent and achievements seem to fulfill the Viennese master’s criteria with startling accuracy.
