Jasper Morrison, born 1959 in London,
studied at the Royal College of Art in
London. He pursued further studies
at the Hochschule der Künste in Berlin
on a fellowship. In 1986 he founded
his own design studio in London.
Jasper Morrison became a leading
figure of “New Simplicity”, a move-
ment that advocated a more modest
and also more serious approach to
design. In addition to furniture, he
has also created lamps, home
accessories, textiles, a tram system
for the city of Hanover.

The Danish designers Nanna and

a design studio. After Jørgen Ditzel’s
death in 1961, Nanna continued to
design, and in 1968 she moved to
London where she established the
Interspace International Furniture

The brothers Ronan and Erwan
Bouroullec were born in Brittany in
1971 and 1976 respectively and have
been working together since the
mid-1990’s. They are united by their
quest for perfection, but at the same
time it is also a constant challenge for
two so very different personalities to
work together. In 2007 they were
discovered by Cappellini, a grand
master of Italian design, who gave
them their first industrial projects.
