意大利家具品牌卡佩裏尼與英國設計師賈斯帕莫裏森於2018年慶祝他們長達30年的合作。創意總監格裏奧•卡佩裏尼回顧了兩人一起設計的作品，從標誌性的Thinking Man’s 椅子到Tate現代美術館的座椅。
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.
卡佩裏尼與莫裏森的合作始於1988年，當時卡佩裏尼推出了第一把 Thinking Man’s 椅子，這把椅子由塗漆的金屬製成，成為他最著名的設計之一，並為後來的設計定下了基調。
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.
卡佩裏尼在2018年倫敦設計節上展示了與賈斯帕·莫裏森30年的合作成果。此後，該品牌推出了一係列莫裏森設計，包括三款豪華沙發、Hi Pad椅子和Tate椅子，以及Bac桌子。最近，兩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.
卡佩裏尼聲稱，盡管該品牌與許多來自世界各地的知名設計師合作，但與莫裏森的合作關係一直是最重要的。他說：“我對所有與卡佩裏尼合作的設計師都懷有最大的敬意，他們來自世界各地，對設計有著完全不同的態度，但我必須說，賈斯帕是我覺得最親近的設計師。這些設計在倫敦設計節期間在卡佩裏尼的倫敦展廳展出。”
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
卡佩裏尼在一次Aram設計展上看到了這把Thinking Man’s椅子，並委托製作了這把椅子。據卡佩裏尼說：“設計的關鍵在於它的簡單性。產品的製造細節真的非常非常重要，我喜歡純粹的設計和不同的線條。對我來說，這把椅子是符合當代潮流，但同時也讓我想起了過去的一些東西。我認為現在很難做出新的設計形狀，許多最漂亮的設計形狀都是在五六十年代形成的。但是，在材料和生產技術上有很大的創新是可能的。”
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
卡佩裏尼說：“這張1991年的床是‘永恒的經典’，是一係列由木頭和金屬結構製成的床，床內填充了泡沫，包括可拆卸的織物封麵。這是一個優雅的產品，適合放在任何建築環境中。”

The design includes removable fabric covers.”This is an elegant product which can be easily included in several architectural environments,” said Cappellini.
Three Sofa De Luxe——1992
莫裏森與卡佩裏尼合作設計的許多產品都明顯受到莫裏森功能性與簡約風格的影響，但也有較為豔麗的Three Sofa De Luxe沙發。你可以在沙發上看到現代與古典之間總是存在著一種平衡，每一個細節都非常重要。這是一款具有強烈而永恒形象的沙發，是賈斯帕大膽的設計手法。
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.

“The old Elan is a very good seller for Cappellini. It’s a simple sofa with a lot of technology inside,” explained Cappellini. “See how you have such a big sofa balanced only on such thin legs. 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.
