意大利家具品牌卡佩里尼与英国设计师贾斯帕莫里森于2018年庆祝他们长达30年的合作。创意总监格里奥•卡佩里尼回顾了两人一起设计的作品，从标志性的Thinking Man’s 椅子到Tate现代美术馆的座椅。
Italian furniture brand Cappellini and British designer Jasper Morrison celebrated three decades of collaboration in 2018. Creative director Guilio Cappellini looks back at designs the pair have produced together, from the iconic Thinking Man’s Chair to the seating at Tate Modern.
卡佩里尼与莫里森的合作始于1988年，当时卡佩里尼推出了第一把 Thinking Man’s 椅子，这把椅子由涂漆的金属制成，成为他最著名的设计之一，并为后来的设计定下了基调。
The Cappellini and Morrison partnership began in 1988, when Cappellini launched the first edition of the Thinking Man’s Chair.Made from lacquered metal. It went on to become one of his best-known designs and set the tone for what was to follow.
卡佩里尼在2018年伦敦设计节上展示了与贾斯帕·莫里森30年的合作成果。此后，该品牌推出了一系列莫里森设计，包括三款豪华沙发、Hi Pad椅子和Tate椅子，以及Bac桌子。最近，两人推出了今年合作的OCap椅。
Cappellini exhibited the results of its three-decade collaboration with Jasper Morrison in an exhibition for London Design Festival 2018.After that, the brand launched a steady stream of Morrison designs, including the Three Sofa De Luxe, the Hi Pad and Tate chairs, and the Bac table. Most recently, the pair worked together on the O Cap Chair, which launched this year.
卡佩里尼声称，尽管该品牌与许多来自世界各地的知名设计师合作，但与莫里森的合作关系一直是最重要的。他说：“我对所有与卡佩里尼合作的设计师都怀有最大的敬意，他们来自世界各地，对设计有着完全不同的态度，但我必须说，贾斯帕是我觉得最亲近的设计师。这些设计在伦敦设计节期间在卡佩里尼的伦敦展厅展出。”
Cappellini claims that, although the brand works with many high-profile designers from around the world, the relationship with Morrison has been the most important.”I have the maximum respect for all the designers who work with Cappellini, they come from all over the world – all with a totally different attitude to design – but I have to say that Jasper is the designer that I feel the closest to,” he said.The designs were showcased at an exhibition in Cappellini’s London showroom during London Design Festival.
The Thinking Man’s——1988
卡佩里尼在一次Aram设计展上看到了这把Thinking Man’s椅子，并委托制作了这把椅子。据卡佩里尼说：“设计的关键在于它的简单性。产品的制造细节真的非常非常重要，我喜欢纯粹的设计和不同的线条。对我来说，这把椅子是符合当代潮流，但同时也让我想起了过去的一些东西。我认为现在很难做出新的设计形状，许多最漂亮的设计形状都是在五六十年代形成的。但是，在材料和生产技术上有很大的创新是可能的。”
Cappellini commissioned The Thinking Man’s Chair after seeing it in an exhibition for Aram Design. According to Cappellini, the key to the design is its simplicity.”With a product like this, the manufacturing details are really very very important,” he explained. “I like the purity of the design and the different lines. For me it was important that the chair was contemporary but at the same time reminded me of something from the past.””I think that nowadays it is difficult to come up with a new shape, many of the most beautiful shapes were developed in the 50s and 60s. But it is possible to be very innovative with materials and technologies of production.”
床——1991
卡佩里尼说：“这张1991年的床是‘永恒的经典’，是一系列由木头和金属结构制成的床，床内填充了泡沫，包括可拆卸的织物封面。这是一个优雅的产品，适合放在任何建筑环境中。”

Many of the products created in the collaboration between Morrison and Cappellini are recognisably influenced by Morrison’s functional and minimal style, but there is also the more flamboyant Three Sofa De Luxe.”This is a more aggressive piece; most are very quiet,” said Cappellini. “There is always this balance between contemporary and classic and every detail is very important. You can see this in the sofa.””It’s a sofa with a strong and everlasting image, a brave approach to design from Jasper,” he added.

There is an aluminium structure in the middle that makes the sofa very light and very strong.”Like many of Morrison’s designs, the Elan has been included in permanent museum collections around the world.”The Elan is here in London in the Tate Modern museum and in the Whitney Museum in New York,” said Cappellini.
