The Simplon cabinet, designed by Jasper Morrison, is a sideboard equipped with drawers and hinged doors. The legs are in anodized aluminium, whereas the cabinet is made of poplar plywood lined with aluminium.
The Simplon cabinets are available in two versions: wood (in natural or wengé-stained oak) or lacquered in the colours of the collection, with a glossy or matte finish.
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.
