Crate Series :
Crate No. 4

designer:
Jasper Morrison

2007

manufacturer:
Established & Sons, UK

materials:
pine and synthetic webbing

notes:
Crate Series is a collection of 6 pieces, which can be used alternatively as storage boxes, tables, cabinets and, in one case, a spare bed. Meticulously executed in natural yellow pine wood, these deceivingly simple, finely crafted 'crates', incorporating brightly-colored synthetic webbing used as 'hinges', reference both 'ready-mades' as well as Morrison's intelligent and reductive aesthetic.

Morrison states:
"I wanted the Crate Series to give the impression they were home-made, as if someone had the idea and then made it for themselves. So although it's very well made, it has an exaggeratedly visible construction."
