ATLAS STOOL Collection

Jasper Morrison, 1993

The ATLAS STOOL collection by Jasper Morrison embodies his "super normal" approach to design, where functionality, sobriety and elegance blend together in a perfect balance. Atlas stools entered Alias catalogue in 1993: they feature a solid structure and well-balanced proportions. Available with or without backrest and offered in different heights - fixed or adjustable - Atlas stools are characterised by a tapered steel leg to which a round stability base, a practical footrest and an elegant, upholstered seat are fixed.

About
ATLAS STOOL

“One sunny morning in a café in Vienna, I noticed a very nice table.
I put on my glasses to look at it better and realised that the shadow of the tabletop on the leg created the effect of a thicker leg at the top compared to the bottom.
It was an optical illusion caused by the light. That's how the idea for the Atlas system leg was born." – Jasper Morrison

Jasper Morrison

He was born in London in 1959. Known for his ‘Super Normal’ approach, the British designer Jasper Morrison seeks to find the exceptional in the world of the ordinary. He believes that design should have an almost invisible presence in the end product and that an atmosphere of naturalness in things is more important than a designer’s signature. His work is represented in New York’s Museum of Modern Art and many other prominent collections around the world. He has published several books with Lars Müller Publishers, including A World Without Words. Since 1992, he has been collaborating with Alias, for which he designed the Atlas system and Tagliatelle (2011).
He lives and works between London and Paris.
