One Legged Table is one of Jasper Morrison’s very first projects, now revised almost forty years after its creation. This console, small in terms of dimensions but great in terms of appearance, features a one-legged metal frame, matt painted in grey or dark brown colour, and a top made of tempered float glass, sandblasted on both sides for an original game of reflections, with satin-resistant transparent varnish.
One Legged Table is a timeless object, valid today as well as at the moment of its conception, and it fully expresses Morrison’s design philosophy: eliminating the superfluous without trivialising the object.

Born in London in 1959, he graduated at the Royal College of Art and established his first design office in 1986. Immediately after this, he began his lasting and useful cooperation with Cappellini; nowadays, he works in London and in Paris for high level companies such as Alessi, Flos, Rowenta, Sony and Samsung. Each Morrison’s project has a minimal elegance which makes it strongly modern beeing a sort of archetype linked to past, favouring function on expression.
