NY Design Week 2008: Super Normal exhibition at Vitra

By Carl Alviani - May 20, 2008

in Object Culture | Events

From the basement at Vitra's Meatpacking District showroom, a bit of divine simplicity. While the reception and party swirled upstairs, a smaller more contemplative crowd strolled through Jasper Morrison and Naoto Fukusawa's collection of 180-odd examples of what they've termed Super Normal Design, and it's enough to restore your faith in objects.

Some obvious selections here, including a pair of Fiskar's scissors, several Muji entries (who knew they did a bike?), and some less familiar but very much at home pieces too. Also a bit of self-promotion: Morrison has several stools and chairs, and PlusMinusZero shows up a few times too, but who can really blame them? Lovely, and worth a look.
