In Milan Nathalie Du Pasquier met her husband, the designer George Sowden, who introduced her to the world of design. In 1981, Nathalie Du Pasquier became a designer and co-founding member of the iconic postmodern design movement Memphis Group, together with Ettore Sottsass, Alessandro Mendini, Andrea Branzi and other iconic designers.
