Designers

Artifort and designers. How one and one makes three. For more than eighty years now, Artifort has provided major designers from home and abroad with the room to work on innovative designs. They forge together beauty, functionality and form to create a unity that favourably received throughout the world. The foundations of Artifort were laid by classic icons created by designers such as Kho Liang Ie, Pierre Paulin and Geoffrey D. Harcourt RDI. The current generation of renowned top designers such as Patrick Norguet, Khodi Feiz, René Holten, Monica Förster and many other designers are continuing the Artifort DNA.

Jasper Morrison

“There are better ways to design than putting a lot of effort into making something look special."“

Known for thinking outside the box, Jasper Morrison (London, 1959) is one of the most successful industrial designers of the past few decades. In his work, he strives to create good examples of understated, useful and responsible design. Morrison studied design at the Kingston Polytechnic Design School in London and the Royal College of Art for postgraduate studies. In 1986, he founded the Office for Design in London. He works as an industrial designer for Vitra, Cappellini and others. He holds many design exhibitions and lectures regularly. More recently, Morrison has turned his hand to designing furniture, for the Tate Modern in London among others. In collaboration with Artifort, he designed the modular sofa Vega.
