"Why do so many designs fail to pass the everyday test? Why is Normal disappearing, and when it's gone how do we replace it? Is there just one question for chairs, for books, or could there be more to it than meets the eye? What makes a good object, and how come some objects get better with time?" - Jasper Morrison

Discover the beauty in everyday simplicity with “Super Normal,” a curated collection of 204 objects by Jasper Morrison and Naoto Fukasawa. From anonymous designs to classics by Arne Jacobsen, Dieter Rams, and Isamu Noguchi, this collection showcases timeless pieces that embody the essence of understated elegance. Featuring works by contemporary designers like Marc Newson, Konstantin Grcic, and the Bouroullecs, it’s a celebration of design that transcends time and space. Morrison and Fukasawa make the invisible visible, proving that the extraordinary is often found in the ordinary.

Jasper Morrison is a distinguished English product and furniture designer known for his refined, understated aesthetic. He famously believes that “objects should never shout.” He has received the CBE (Commander of the Order of the British Empire), the second-highest honor in the UK after a knighthood or damehood, awarded for his notable contributions to design. He also holds the RDI (Royal Designer for Industry) title, the highest accolade in the UK for excellence across diverse design disciplines, recognizing his influence and impact on contemporary design.

These carefully chosen and crafted pieces represent a considered mix of the esoteric and the highly pragmatic. Many of these simple things reflect the hand of the artisan or the quiet genius of the inventor. They are useful in ways that are difficult to quantify but, if pressed, we would say they make life a little more efficient and a lot more beautiful.

We would be great together -
