Rediscovering the Beauty of Everyday Objects

The exhibition's concept is "Craft, Daily Life, Quality of Objects," a theme that runs through Jasper Morrison's design and curation work. Visitors can explore a library space featuring various books, including his latest publication, "The Hard Life," an installation using daily necessities from the general store "Matsunoya" by Norihiko Terayama (studio note), and a space adorned with Maruni furniture.

During the exhibition period, there will also be a display of "Superloon," a new lighting piece by FLOS designed by Jasper Morrison, a limited sale of his signed books ("Super Normal," "The Good Life," "A World Without Words," "A Book of Things" with Japanese translation), and pre-orders for his latest book, "The Hard Life" – a must-see for his fans.
