….nothing boring about beautiful functional design. 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.)!

Desing is more like fashion every day, the same thing in diferent colors, textures, materials and prices. Each one desing the same but a little difrent, some times worst ……… where is de consistence of politicaly correct desing philosophy of mister Morrisson?

I like it… very similar to wegners chair true enough… yes we have 100,000 other chairs… yes we are educating too many designers… yes we live in a consumer society… yes there are too many chairs… yes this is sold on jaspers name… but also his philosophy… just like karims blob based plastic stuctures… brand jasper sells this because it appeals (especially in recession)… if i had designed it, there would be less appeal as i dont grab any headlines… i am unknown therefore my market is smaller and thus i am not a financially sound investment… blogging needs to get less bitchy. Jasper is a man of great skill with detailing and subtlety, lets face it theres such a back catalogue of designs out there that respond to human form… there will always be similarities. If we are going to stop designing furniture then we need to stop governments educating surplus designers and rejigg education to get designers, scientists, researchers onto new goals working together…I just cant see that happening under any of the political parties in the UK so therefore… im going to go design some chairs in a vain attempt to feed myself!

And still it is a nice structure, nice angles, quietly lovely.
