2010 Designer Furniture World Cup: England 4 - Japan 0


Published on 17.06.2010

The first meeting between Jasper Morrison and Isamu Noguchi proved to be a truly one-sided affair; a result that although deserved, seemed unfair on the old master of Japanese design. Despite a few brave forays with his coffee table or rocking stools, Isamu Noguchi was unable to get away from his Akari Lamp stereotype. Jasper Morrison was more than able to profit from Noguchi's alleged monotypology and through some clever chair and crockery combinations was soon leading 4:0. Towards the end of the contest Jasper Morrison picked up a deserved yellow card for some nasty work for Established and Sons, his victory however was never in doubt.
