Jasper Morrison named A&W Designer of the Year 2016

We were blown away by Jasper Morrison's innovative use of LED technology in his Superloon floor lamp launched by Flos at the Milan Fair last year.

Now Morrision has been named the A&W Designer of the Year. The award has become recognized as an important title given by the editors of the Architektur & Wohnen — Germany’s style-setting premium magazine for architecture, design, interior and gardening — to individuals who have played an important role in shaping the contemporary world of design. 

The British designer has been selected for his significant contribution to the industry over the past 30 years, during which time he has established himself as an individual who is dedicated as much to the functionality as he is to the aesthetics of the objects he creates. with approximately 600 products to his name, ranging from various furniture pieces to electronics, rendered in a slew of different materials, morrison’s approach sees him reducing things down to their very essentials without compromising their form.
