Showcasing the work of over 200 designers from around the world, this yearbook offers an authoritative guide to contemporary domestic design. Designers whose work is featured include: Ron Arad; Enrico Baleri; Antonio Citterio; James Irvine; Philippe Starck; Marc Newson; Reiko Sudo; and Renzo Piano. This year's selection has been made by the internationally acclaimed London-based designer Jasper Morrison. In a conversation with Michael Horsham, Morrison discusses the issues facing designers at the end of the 1990s, and the return to objectivity in design in evidence by the 1999 selection, characterized by simple forms, an absence of decoration and an authenticity in the use of materials.Previous page

What feeds the inspiration of the designer? Observation. In Jasper Morrison’s collection of pictures, icons of design history meet up with the unassuming objects of everyday life, and curious findings with the archetypes of modernism. Every picture tells a story and in juxtaposition with its neighbor a new one is also created—without words, in the language of form. Morrison responds to the arbitrariness of form with simplicity and complexity, poetry and humor in a repertoire of compelling designs. The volume "A World Without Words" is a school of seeing that addresses both designers and consumers who wish to explore the universe of goods.

Jasper Morrison's name is not associated with spectacular consumer design products. Instead, he has chosen to align himself from the start with an approach that designers often return to after careers spent otherwise: simple and durable forms that remain functional and true to their materials, and retain an unmistakable and exciting modern formal language. His success in the European design landscape over the past decade is without parallel, perhaps because his first furniture and interior designs appeared at a time when the overwhelming nature of flashy décor had become underwhelming. Arguing against "Uselessism" and for "Utilism," Morrison equates the decorative content of a design with a lack of understanding of design's utilitarian purpose. Likewise, he continues to apply himself to doorhandles and doors, bottles of beer and busstops, regarding no aspect of daily life as unworthy of consideration as a design problem. Everything But the Walls provides a much needed survey of Morrison's working methods and their results, as well as an exploration of the sources of his inspirations and ideas.

Just what is it that catches the eye, and why? What is the significance of a broken flowerpot, a pair of identical tables side by side, a garden hose wrapped around an old car wheel? In this collection of photo essays, the famous designer Jasper Morrison examines and imagines the life behind a series of seemingly ordinary situations.
