NAOTO FUKASAWA, JASPER MORRISON
BOOK
Jasper Morrison and Naoto Fukasawa have gathered 204 everyday objects in search of a super normal design. Alongside examples of anonymous design, the collection features design classics by Jacobsen, Rams, Bill, and Noguchi. With products by Newson, Grcic, the Azumis, and the Bouroullecs, it also represents the generation to which Morrison and Fukasawa belong.
The super normal phenomenon transcends space and time, pointing to a future that has already begun. The super normal is right in front of us, real and accessible: Fukasawa and Morrison make it visible for us (publisher’s description).
Jasper Morrison & Naoto Fukasawa
Born in London in 1959, Jasper Morrison works as a designer, traveling between London, Paris, and Tokyo. His designs are produced in Europe, the USA, and Japan by leading manufacturers of furniture, lighting, electronics, shoes, wristwatches, and more.
“Super Normal began with an understanding, or rather a gradual noticing, that certain objects, usually the more discreet type, and mostly, though not inevitably, anonymously designed, outperform their counterparts with ease when it comes to long-term everyday use. Understanding why this happens seems important if we are to design more real, lasting, and pleasing things and avoid the designer’s trap of placing too much importance on how things look.” —Jasper Morrison
Super Normal first began as an exhibition at the Axis Gallery in Tokyo, in collaboration with Naoto Fukasawa, accompanied by the Super Normal catalog.
