" Wrong. It is easier to create something with an almost zero or neutral aesthetic, that conveniently conforms to the limitations of the designers imagination, and then dress it up as 'understatement', or 'supernormal'. No wonder this sort of design only stands out when exhibited against corkscrews, eggboxes, milk bottles and other anonymous designs. Remarkable, only for being unremarkable.

Wrong. It is easier to create something with an almost zero or neutral aesthetic, that conveniently conforms to the limitations of the designers imagination, and then dress it up as 'understatement', or 'supernormal'.

No wonder this sort of design only stands out when exhibited against corkscrews, eggboxes, milk bottles and other anonymous designs.

Remarkable, only for being unremarkable.

Yes it resembles Wegners Y-chair a lot, but I think many of you forget that what Wegner did was to take old chairs and strip them from all ornament and thus simplifying them. He did neither invent the deep dish. Jasper Morrison has just taken this a step further. It is what we call evolution. A great chair!

Considering 12 in red for my kitchen and know they will look better (still) in 20 years than they do now. Its time now especially , to see that it is good design that should be lauded rather than the conceptual, humorous design of the last decade. It is far harder to design beautifully and simply and to make desirable objects in this way. The reason that students have been using 'concept' and shock in their designs for the last 10 years is that it is easier to do this ( and receive press attention) than design simply and well. Bravo Dezeen (for featuring more well designed pieces of late and for understanding the shift in design.)! ….nothing boring about beautiful functional design.
