Plate Dining Table
Like all of the designs developed by Jasper Morrison
in collaboration with Vitra, the Plate Dining Table reflects the tenets of his
'super normal' design philosophy. Morrison explains: 'The objects that perform
best do so not because they look beautiful or valuable but because they have
the essential code of being good at what they are.'
Finely balanced proportions and the subtle interplay
of planes and curves give the Plate Dining Table an unassuming, refined
appearance that can be complemented by a wide variety of chairs, both
contemporary and classic. The tapered legs with a quarter-circle profile and
the slender frame adhere to the principle of an efficient use of materials: as
much as necessary, as little as possible. This lends the table an elegant, graceful
silhouette. Details such as the gently splayed legs or the slight overhang of
the table top are reminiscent of archetypal tables – reinterpreted in a modern
idiom. The deft combination of aesthetic elements and structural details make
the Plate Dining Table appear immediately familiar and perfectly at home in any
interior.
The Plate Dining Table is available in several sizes
and colours, with table tops in solid wood, glass, marble or MDF. This
selection makes it possible to find the ideal version for many different
settings.

Jasper Morrison |
Known for thinking outside the box, Jasper Morrison is one of the most
successful industrial designers of the past few decades. Together with his
colleague Naoto Fukasawa, he defined the term 'super normal', which in his
opinion answers the question of what 'good design' should really be. In his
work, he strives to create good examples of understated, useful and responsible
design. Morrison has developed several projects in collaboration with Vitra,
including the APC, the Soft Modular Sofa and the HAL chair family. His designs
are represented in New York's Museum of Modern Art and other prominent museum
collections around the world. |
