Designed by Jasper Morrison, Crate is a basic, raw storage module. The designer started from the simple shape of a wine crate to develop this piece, exploiting the elementary and functional qualities that attracted the designer to the original object. Practical and easy to use, the Crate storage unit from Established & Sons will fit in with any modern interior.
Born in London in 1959, Jasper Morrison studied at the Royal College of Art in London and continued his studies at the Berlin School of Fine Arts. In 1986, Jasper Morrison set up his own design studio in London. He attracted attention with the clear concepts of his installations "Reuters News Center" at documenta 8 in Kassel and "Some new items for the home" at the DAAD gallery in Berlin, which presented objects with highly refined lines in reaction to the formal exuberance of postmodernism. He became the pioneer of the "New Simplicity": a concept translated into a design imbued with simplicity and seriousness. His furniture creations include lamps, interior accessories and textiles, as well as a tramway for the city of Hanover and a bus stop for the Vitra site. Jasper Morrison adopts a rationalist approach to manufacturing processes and advocates an aesthetic devoid of superfluous details. This 'super normal' design has won over many manufacturers (Canon, Sony) and design brands such as Alessi, Flos (the Glo-Ball lamp), Cappellini (the surprising Thinking Man's Chair), SCP and Vitra, which gives a prominent place to its pieces in the Vitra Home range, including the Cork stools in natural cork.
