VITRA - JASPER MORRISON IN LATEX

VITRA - Jasper Morrison Latex

After strapping Charles & Ray Eames last year with Eames in thong, Franklin Azzi dresses Jasper Morrison for the winter with Morrison latex. And not just any latex: courier elastics. Raw material raw response, the variations of elastics according to the pressure they undergo recall the cork skin of the original object. Stretched one over the other, one along the other, they methodically clutch the Cork stool and draw like a spirograph a circular and sophisticated ornament. This hijacking is actually based on a frame search, inspired by Sol Lewitt's Wall Drawings. Despite the use of an industrial supply and the numerical simulations necessary for this disguise, the final appearance is natural and reveals an organic, sensitive material. In a respect of the existent similar to the architectural rehabilitations of Franklin Azzi, the initial object was not altered, it remains intact under its latex coat. He signed his package in the manner of Arsene Lupine, slipping a business card between the straps of Jasper's suit.

This 19th auction for the benefit of the association The Source will take place Monday, December 12, 2016 at 20h at the Hotel de l'Industrie, which will open its doors for this event. It will be orchestrated by the auctioneer Simon de Pury. For the sixth year in a row, Vitra is partnering with this sale by offering 50 copies of Cork stools designed by Jasper Morrison.
