Rosenthal - Moon/Design: Jasper Morrison

Moon/Design: Jasper Morrison

Jasper Morrison is one of the outstanding representatives of modern design today. Consciously unpretentious, simple and reductionist -- these are the features which distinguish this British designer`s work. Morrison`s language of form is based on a vocabulary of lines which he reconfigures, develops and recombines but does not reinvent. What is important for him is to present the object to us as something reliable and usable -- as though its existence had been eternal.

In „Moon" Jasper Morrison has created a porcelain dinner service for Rosenthal studio-line which is at once simple, practical and a thing of beauty, dispensing with exaggerated ornamentation. „Moon" is a supreme reworking of the best traditions of classical modernism. A comprehensive dinner service, it is an exquisitely reductionistic collection whose gentle form seems self-evident, a dinner service uncompromisingly stripped of all superfluous details and irrelevant effect.

„Moon" is a lesson in how to draw strength from reduction and distillation. Impressive and convincing designer dinnerware, fit for the everyday.
