Konzept
KIM: Hello Jasper. When you have a chance, could you answer some questions about Zampa?
JASPER: Thanks for the questions. Answers below.
KIM: I know that ‘everyday’ things are important to you in what you collect, what you document and also what you often exhibit. How does Zampa fit with your interest in ‘everyday’ objects?
JASPER: I noticed some old country stools, handmade with curved stick legs and roughly connected to circular solid wood seats, and this design is a reminder of this very direct solution to having something to sit on. Their charm and character are irresistible though they couldn’t be more direct and everyday in a practical sense. Zampa originally started as something light and adaptable for use as a stool or a small side table, beside the bed or in the bathroom, wherever they’re needed.
KIM: Did it feel natural to extend the Zampa family to now include a chair, and has this addition created a new quality, in your eyes?
JASPER: Design is an unpredictable process. While designing the Zampa stools I never imagined we would add a chair to the family. If Mattiazzi had asked me to design a chair first I very much doubt it would be as good as this one. Seen as a family it looks perfectly natural that there’s a chair, and I think the chair brings a lot of extra character to the stools which on their own might have seemed a bit minimal to some.
KIM: How is Zampa an ‘everyday object’ itself (or not)?
JASPER: It’s everyday in a functional and also a visual sense, there’s no pretence to be anything special.
KIM: The stool seems to be an exercise in just how few elements there can be – just a flat, round seat, and four curved wooden legs. The two elements make one piece. Why does it interest you to make the joining of these two elements so discreet, meaning that it is not apparent? Or – why should ‘the whole’ piece look as one?
JASPER: The seat is flat and quite thin, so the expression is as direct as possible. It’s a little bit of a protest against fashion and fakeness in our industry.
KIM: How do you describe the character of Zampa, in other words, it has some personality and perhaps even some levity or joy?
JASPER: It’s unopinionated!
KIM: What can you say about why Zampa is right for Mattiazzi, right now – in other words what about Mattiazzi makes it realisable or possible, or makes it what it is?
JASPER: Quite often when designing, one’s sense of a brand takes over and you do something that feels right for who you’re designing it for. That’s the case here. It just suggested itself as a Mattiazzi product.

Jasper Morrison
United Kingdom
Profile Services offered by Jasper Morrison Ltd are wide ranging, from tableware and kitchen products to furniture and lighting, sanitary-ware, electronics and appliance design. Our clients are worldwide, united as leaders in their individual fields, but in other respects extremely diverse. Biography Jasper Morrison was born in London in 1959. He graduated in Design from Kingston Polytechnic in 1982. Then he attended the Royal College of Art for postgraduate studies, which included a year at Berlin’s HdK art school. Upon graduation he set up his Office for Design in London in 1986. He established himself with two installations: Reuters News Centre at Documenta 8 in Kassel in 1987, and Some New Items for the Home, Part I, at the DAAD Gallery in Berlin as part of Berlin Design Werkstadt in 1988. Jasper's earliest designs were produced by Aram and SCP in London, Neotu in Paris, FSB in Germany and Cappellini in Italy. In 1989, he began collaboration with Vitra with the exhibition Some New Items for the Home, Part II, at Milan's Furniture Fair. He went on to form Utilism International with Andreas Brandolini and Axel Kufus, providing exhibition design and town planning services. In 1994 Jasper began a consultancy with Üstra, the Hanover transport authority, designing a bus shelter and then the new Hanover tram. Further collaborations began in this period with projects for the Italian companies Alessi, Flos, and Magis, and the German porcelain manufacturer Rosenthal. In the 2000s Jasper worked on a project for Rowenta to design a set of kitchen appliances, and he began consultancies with Muji, Samsung, Ideal Standard and Established & Sons. In 2006 he collaborated with Japanese designer Naoto Fukasawa on the exhibition Super Normal at Axis Gallery, Tokyo. It was followed by a book and toured to London, Milan, Helsinki and New York. This exhibition inspired the opening of the Jasper Morrison Shop beside his London studio in 2009. The Shop presents an exhibition each year during London Design Festival. Since 2010 Jasper has collaborated with Spanish companies Camper, Kettal and Andreu World, and US companies Maharam and Emeco. He is art director of Swiss electronics company Punkt. In 2014 he designed the furniture for the extension to Tate Modern, more than ten years after working on the opening of the museum with the architects Herzog & de Meuron. Jasper Morrison has had solo exhibitions in Tokyo at Axis Gallery, Yamagiwa and HH Style. Among his other exhibitions, he presented Au Musée at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs Bordeaux in 2009 and in 2011 he curated Danish Design, I Like It, at the Copenhagen Design Museum. In 2015 a retrospective exhibition opened at the Grand-Hornu, Belgium, accompanied by a new monograph A Book of Things. Previous books include Everything But The Walls and The Good Life, both published by Lars Müller. Jasper Morrison has been a Royal Designer for Industry since 2001. Jasper Morrison Ltd currently has offices in London, Tokyo and Paris.
