Jasper Morrison: The Unimportance of Form And Other Arguments

Apartamento presents a new title in its reading series: The Unimportance of Form and Other Arguments… by Jasper Morrison. Following Miguel Milá’s Essential: A Design Guide for Life, this volume features the renowned British designer’s early writings from 1984 to 2002, published together for the first time.

The 31 compiled texts were collected and edited by industrial designer Sina Sohrab. They include essays, arguments, musings, early autobiographical manifestos, notes for a novel that never materialised, and even a letter from James Irvine responding to one of Jasper’s faxed essays. A sharp and incisive writer, Jasper begins to formulate ideas in these writings that he will hone throughout his career.
