ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Jasper Morrison’s design philosophy is rooted in simplicity and functionality, and this iconic Superoblong sectional sofa is a testament to his approach. Rather than relying on excessive ornamentation, Morrison focuses on clean lines and subtle yet thoughtful details, creating pieces that are both unique and highly practical. His work challenges traditional concepts of furniture, offering designs that are rational, unconventional, and ever-relevant, even in a market saturated with decades of furniture design history.

The original version of the Superoblong sofas and armchairs, with its beanbag-inspired form, is constructed from durable canvas and filled with polystyrene spheres, providing a lounge-like comfort distinct from that of conventional sofas. The sections are joined with industrial zippers, allowing for versatility, whether extending an existing sofa set or functioning as a standalone lounge chair. Its relaxed, low-profile appearance, resting directly on the floor, invites flexibility and movement, perfect for use in different settings, such as on a balcony for an outdoor, laid-back vibe. The canvas covers feature felt pads underneath for protection and can be easily removed for cleaning. This postmodern piece is perfect for contemporary spaces, offering an unconventional yet comfortable seating option that invites conversation and relaxation in equal measure.

CONDITION

In fair vintage condition, signs of use like slight folds in the canvas and minor stains, big white marks to the back of the sofa where it was probably perched against a white wall. Some fading due to sun exposure. Please refer to photographs.
