Jasper Morrison

Jasper Morrison is a British designer working in furniture, lighting, tableware and everyday products. Born in London in 1959, he studied at Kingston Polytechnic, the Royal College of Art and Berlin’s HdK, and opened his Office for Design in London in 1986, where Jasper Morrison Ltd remains based at 24b Kingsland Road.

Early pieces such as the Handlebar Table, Thinking Man’s Chair, Plywood Chair and 1144 Handle reduced furniture to its essential needs. He has designed for Cappellini, FSB, Vitra, Flos, Emeco, Magis, Maruni, Muji and Alessi, and in 2006 organised the Super Normal exhibition with Naoto Fukasawa. The Jasper Morrison Shop opened beside the studio in 2009.
