Known for his “Super Normal” approach to design,
Jasper Morrison looks to find the exceptional in the
world of the ordinary. He is a firm believer that design
should have an almost invisible presence in the end
product and that an atmosphere of naturalness in
things is more important than a designer’s signature.
Born in London in 1959, Jasper studied design at
Kingston Polytechnic, the Royal College of Art and
Berlin’s HdK. In 1986 he opened his Office for Design
in London, from where he continues to design
furniture, lighting, tableware and everyday products.
He has published several books with Lars Müller
Publishers, including A World Without Words, The
Good Life, A Book of Things and Super Normal (with
Naoto Fukasawa). He has curated and participated
in many exhibitions in Japan, the USA and across
Europe. His work is represented in New York’s
Museum of Modern Art and many other prominent
collections around the world. His contribution to
design has been recognised with membership of the
Royal Designers for Industry, a CBE award in Britain
and the Italian Compasso d’Oro award for his career.
