內容簡介
「與其增添產品亮點，不如打造實用性才是真正的好設計。」是英國大師Jasper Morrison的設計理念。
2015年6月Jasper Morrison在比利時 Grand-Hornu 現代藝術博物館舉辦首個回顧展，由他親自策畫。無疑問地，這次 Jasper Morrison 將以一貫迷人的極簡性格，呈現過去35年來包括家具、餐具和家電等產品設計。很有自己的味道。每一處角落和作品都是「Thingness」的最佳證明──毫無旁枝末節，呈現物件的純粹。
無法親眼參觀這大型回顧個展的讀者，也別扼腕，所有設計作品將按照時間順序陳列，伴隨設計草圖、封存資料和圖片，細細講述每件作品的誕生，同步收錄在《A Book of Things》，記錄靈感激發的過程與發展。
Jasper Morrison有賦予事物以鮮明風格的能力。他最知名且優秀的設計是體現在很多我們身邊的日常物品，例如為日本品牌無印良品設計的砂鍋、西班牙鞋子品牌 Camper 的運動鞋等等，風格既簡單也複雜──這樣的說明不足讓你了解，當然就是要閱讀這本精彩作品囉！
Morrison's intense examination of the world of things that accompany our lives and shape our environment.
Jasper Morrison has the ability to bestow things with a distinctive style. His signature style is evident in many of the everyday objects that surround us. His repertoire of essential designs is characterized by simplicity yet complexity, as well as a sense of poetry and humor. Morrison works on a global scale and is one of the most onfluential product designers in the world today. A Book of Things is a collection of products and projects across the broad spectrum of his activities and demonstrates the continuity of his interests and methods, ehich he describes in succinct texts.
