Design Jasper Morrison, 2009
Aluminum, polycarbonate
Made in Italy by Flos

Jasper Morrison is known for his ability to take the beauty that he sees in the world around him and translate it into his work. To that end, the Smithfield family was named for the Smithfield Market in London, where the artist was inspired by the industrial nature of the fixtures he saw. "I've always liked the industrial and functional character of these lights," he says. "I wanted to make a project out of them, looking for some way of making use of their efficiency in delivering light, and the forms themselves which are so much a part of the good atmosphere of industrial spaces."

Smithfield ceiling lamp provides direct lighting and features an aluminum body with an opalescent polycarbonate diffuser. It is offered with a steel wall or ceiling attachment and available in your choice of a variety of finish and light source options.

Jasper Morrison

Jasper Morrison (b. 1959) is an English product and furniture designer from London. He received a Bachelor of Design degree from Kingston Polytechnic Design School in 1982 and a Masters degree in Design from the Royal College of Art, London, in 1985. He also studied at the Berlin University of the Arts, formerly the Hochschule der Künste (HdK). While a student, he gained a keen interest in modernist pioneers, such as Buckminster Fuller, Gerald Summers, Jean Prouvé and Le Corbusier. Morrison's objects provide a quiet contrast to the creative exuberance of the Eighties. The visual restraint, high functionalism and constructive simplicity attract attention to his work.
The furniture manufacturers Dino Gavina and Cesare Cassina founded Flos, a leading Italian lighting manufacturer. Flos established a reputation through innovative lighting designs from Achille Castiglioni. The collaboration with Achille Castiglioni introduced the "family of products" concept to the market with the Brera series. Flos continues to develop emerging talent and award winning lighting designs.
