Jasper Morrison

by Jasper Morrison

A key figure of the 1990s neo-minimalist movement “More than the first impression, form is a component on the road to a final solution and a very important part of you can’t divide it from function, you can’t divide it from other aspects of design and in the end a suppression of form is even necessary.” -Jasper Morrison

In the early 1980s, Jasper Morrison anticipated what was to be the ethical position of the designer in a period of crisis, emerging as one of the instigators of the neo-minimalist movement of the 1990s. Concerned with questions of plasticity and efficacy, he eliminates decorative effects in favour of functionalism.

I have been interested in Jasper Morrison since Reading Fukisawa and Morrison's "SuperNormal: Sensations of the Ordinary"

Morrison's Interviewers ask evocative questions about the nature of design for the home and the process of finding inspiration which elicit well wrought responses from Morrison who offers considered elucidation on the role of the designer and a peek into the reasoning underlying his extraordinarily concise objects.
