Jasper Morrison's name is not associated with spectacular consumer design produc ts. 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 for ms that remain functional and true to their materials, and retain an unmistakabl e and exciting modern formal language. His success in the European design landsc ape over the past decade is without parallel, perhaps because his first furnitur e and interior designs appeared at a time when the overwhelming nature of flashy decor had become underwhelming. Arguing against ""Uselessism"" and for ""Utilism,"" Morrison equates the decorative content of a design with a lack of understandin g of design's utilitarian purpose. Likewise, he continues to apply himself to do orhandles 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, a s well as an exploration of the sources of his inspirations and ideas.
