Jasper Morrison
"There are better ways of designing than making a big effort to make something look special." - Jasper Morrison
Jasper Morrison was born in London in 1959. He graduated in design from Kingston Polytechnic in 1982, after which he attended the Royal College of Art. After graduating, Jasper set up his design practice in London in 1986. Since then he has worked in various areas of product and industrial design. He has worked for the Italian companies Alessi, Flos and Magis, as well as the German porcelain manufacturer Rosenthal. In 2008, he opened his own Jasper Morrison shop in London.
The designer Jasper Morrison lives and works in London and Tokyo. He describes his work as "super normal" - because instead of unusual shapes, colours and materials, he relies on the reinterpretation of the tried and tested and the further development of familiar solutions.
