Jasper Morisson is recognized as one of the leading designers of the 21st century and the simplicity and efficiency of his work do not leave much room for interpretation.
So I tried to make the product more complicated, make it heavier and strip away its functions.  This is unashamedly provocative, in a way the opposite of design, but in my mind an approach which questions the limits of this discipline.

The large soft seat and the petal back of the Peter Pan chair embodies the joyful and playful side of design, invoking the name. Peter Pan is a free spirited young boy who can fly and never grows up. The overall form of the chair enhances comfort above all else, designed to emulate  the way we want to rest. The softness is visible, and the design of the petal back makes the chair versatile and fresh.

It takes knowledge, control and a good dose of instinct to ride waves. The control of water is also essential in watercolour techniques where fading looks so effortless and so poetic. Aqua is designed for the waves.

The Borghese sofa was inspired by the Stone Pines of Villa Borghese in Rome: the metal structure is reminiscent of the intricate tree branches, while the cushions serve as the landscape. Again, the emotional relation with nature is the primary source of inspiration.

The Borghese sofa exists in a longer and even more sculptural version, covered with Pierre Frey fabric.
