Jasper Morrison's Lars Müller monograph gathers his products and projects with photographs, sketches and his own short texts, making a quiet case for the value of ordinary, well-made things. First published in 2015 and later revised and extended, it reads as a designer's own record of understated design outcomes.
Jasper Morrison's personal collection of the products and projects that fill and shape our lives — a designer's quiet argument for the value of ordinary, well-made things. A monograph of understated design Outcomes. Published by Lars Müller Publishers, the book gathers the diverse products and projects of British industrial designer Jasper Morrison, illustrated with photographs and sketches and accompanied by short texts written by Morrison himself. It follows on from his earlier Everything but the Walls (2002) as a continuation of his examination of the everyday objects that shape our surroundings, characterised by a mix of simplicity and complexity and a quiet sense of poetry and humour. A revised and extended edition has since added further recent projects, including a bakery in Majorca, a magazine cover and a bicycle.
