Concept
BAC- Twenty years after designing the Thinking Man’s Chair, Jasper Morrison, English by birth but increasingly a man of the world, has still managed to astound the world of high design with Bac, the new chair in solid ash wood and plywood. The frame is available in bleached, wenge tinted or cherry red aniline tinted ash wood. The seat is available in diverse variations and has the same finishings as the frame with upholstery in leather or white, brown, grey or black linoleum with an ash wood back. The chair combines perfectly with the Bac table series but can easily complement many other items from the Cappellini Collection as well.
Chair- cm 52,5 x 51 x 45,5/73
Two new pieces enter the Bac family. Bac One and Bac Two are two chairs that maintain a lightness of material and simplicity of form original to the Bac armchairs but, being free of armrests, are designed for a more flexible and informal use. Created in solid ash, Bac One and Bac Two are distinguished by a pure and precise contour, making them immediately recognisable. They are available in bleached ash, cherry red aniline and a wenge stain. The body can be upholstered in linoleum (in white, brown/burgundy, grey/azure and black), fabric and leather.
Chair- cm 41 x 48 x 77 h
The Bac chair with its classic and linear shape, is made entirely of solid ash wood. The simple design, typical of Jasper Morrison, and the comfort of the seat and armrests make it suitable for any situation. The new aniline Shanghai blue finish gives it a contemporary verve.

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.
