Book: A BOOK OF THINGS by Jasper Morrison
This is a collection of works by British designer Jasper Morrison. It is an expanded and revised edition of the book of the same name, which was first published in 2015. Known for advocating his unique design philosophy of "Super Normal," Morrison seeks to find the special in the ordinary. True to his belief that "objects should not shout," his designs are defined by their captivating simplicity, familiarity, and distinctive playfulness. After gaining recognition for his "Thinking Man's Chair" (1986), conceived from a chair without a seat cushion, he has undertaken projects across a wide range of genres, including mobile phones, lighting, tea sets, and door handles, as well as interiors, exhibitions, books, and photography, earning high acclaim.
This book is a guide that showcases his passionate exploration of the world of things that accompany our lives and shape our environment. It highlights the long and diverse career of the artist, presenting projects from preliminary sketches to finished products, along with personal anecdotes about the genesis of each design.
This edition includes recent works not featured in the 2015 edition, such as a bakery in Mallorca that "feels like it's always been there," magazine covers, and bicycle designs. This edition not only emphasizes the diverse scope of the author's practice but also foregrounds his sensibility towards interiors. For the author, the success of an object is not in the work alone but in its power to create an atmosphere within a setting. At the same time, this book reveals not only this sensibility towards setting but also his approach to objects, his design process, and how he perceives things.
