I’ve also heard it referred to as Corporate Memphis. Fitting, since it’s a shitty, soulless appropriation of the Memphis Group’s style.
Edit: god I love Memphis design. The Wikipedia article notes that it is/was compared to “a shotgun wedding between Bauhaus and Fisher-Price” which is why it’s awesome. It’s so fucking garish and absurd, I love it so much. It looks like you can still get new pieces made, but sadly it also looks like they’re in the, “if you have to ask the price, you can’t afford it” range.

“Yaoi hands” is also valid.
Quite honestly, I would love to have a house in that style (Memphis Group)
Maybe I can do a poor man’s Memphis Group with some thrift store finds and spraypaint :P
Fascinating! Thanks for sharing!
