About the Item

Inspired by a stripped-back chair frame, Jasper Morrison wanted to design an easy chair which was all structure and no closed surfaces. First prototyped in 1985, the chair was originally painted in red oxide rust-proofing paint. Morrison felt this was too bland, and he scrawled the dimensions on the frame itself - with the view that if anyone wanted to replicate the chair, they may as well get the dimensions right. Destined for the group exhibit in Savage Thrones, at Shiseido department store, Ginza, Tokyo, the first edition was purchased by the boss of the department store and it wasn't until a later edition in 1987 was spotted by Giulio Cappellini at the Aram 23rd Anniversary Show in 1987, that this was picked up and produced by the Italian manufacturer.
