Note
The pattern is from an architectural drawing designed by Ettore Sottsass for use in this textile design. Each tie is unique, as it is hand cut from the larger pattern which repeats in the silk fabric. This tie is from new production from Memphis Milano from the original 1984 design [themodernarchive.com].
