米兰设计周期间，英国设计师Jasper Morrison为美国家具品牌Emeco设计的一系列看似简单的桌椅首次亮相。

这个名为“1英寸“系列包括三种高度的椅子、扶手椅和凳子，以及咖啡和酒吧桌。每件作品都是简单的框架，它用回收的、一平方英寸的挤压型铝合金管制成，选用这种材料是因为它的强度和重量比。

British designer Jasper Morrison will debut a collection of deceptively simple-looking seating and tables for American furniture brand Emeco at Milan design week.
Called 1 Inch, the collection includes a chair, armchair and stools in three heights as well as cafe and bar tables. Each piece features a simple frame made from a recycled, one-inch-square extruded aluminium tube that was selected for its strength-to-weight ratio.

框架保持了Morrison典型的实用性风格，平滑的弧线边界和细长的八字形腿。座垫和靠背使用织物或皮革，考虑到可持续性设计使用了胡桃木或水曲柳胶合板，或者七色聚丙烯的其中一种。

Morrison把这款椅子描述成“也许是我设计的最复杂的椅子之一”，他创造1英寸系列以适应不同的环境。

In keeping with Morrison's typically utilitarian style, the frames feature gently rounded edges and slightly splayed legs. Seats and backs are available in fabric or leather, sustainably sourced walnut or ash plywood, or one of seven colours of polypropylene.  
Describing the chair as "probably one of the most complicated chairs I've designed", Morrison created the 1 Inch collection to suit a range of different environments.

“我对设计工作越来越感兴趣，它尽可能自然地融入到日常生活中，”Morrison解释说。“1英寸椅子系列尽管很普通，设计它的目的是更新Emeco的方案以适用于各种各样的情况，坚固和不浮华的东西是必须的。”“椅子的设计看起来很基础，我们在开发它时并没有遇到太大的麻烦，但我们低估了多个平面同时弯曲方形铝管的困难，”他继续说。“Emeco花费了几个月的时间试验，最开始都是失败的，我们在找到方法之前进行了无数次的修改。”

"I'm more and more interested in working towards designs which take part in everyday life as naturally as possible," explained Morrison. "The 1 Inch chair, though far from spectacular, is intended to be an updated Emeco solution to a wide variety of situations where something strong and less flashy is required."  "The design of the chair seemed basic enough and we were not expecting much trouble in developing it, but we underestimated the complication of bending square aluminium tube in more than one plane simultaneously," he continued.  "It took Emeco several months of experimentation and false starts and it took us uncountable revisions to the drawing before we found the way to do it."

1英寸系列是Morrison与Emeco合作的第二个系列，Alfi是第一个系列，它是用后工业化废料制成的一系列座椅，设计开始于2015年。

The 1 Inch collection is Morrison's second collaboration with Emeco following on from the Alfi collection, a range of seating made of reclaimed post-industrial waste, that was launched in 2015.

Morrison被广泛认为是世界上最好的工业设计师之一，于1986在伦敦设立了他的设计办公室。在他的职业生涯中曾与他合作的品牌如无印良品、三星、Ideal Standard和Camper，目前它是瑞士电子公司Punkt的艺术总监。

2006年，他让自创的术语“超常规”流行起来，这一词汇描述不引人注目但大气的设计，2015年他有一个名为Thingness的巡回回顾展，以及一本名为《A Book of Things》的新专著。

Morrison, who is widely regarded as one of the world's best industrial designers, set up his Office for Design in London in 1986. Over the course of his career he has worked with brands such as Muji, Samsung, Ideal Standard and Camper, and is currently art director of Swiss electronics company Punkt.
In 2006 he popularised his self-coined term "super normal" to describe the ideal of unobtrusive but atmospheric design, and in 2015 a touring retrospective exhibition called Thingness was accompanied by a new monograph called A Book of Things.

去年，他为意大利制造商Schiffini设计了它的第一个工业化生产的厨房，并在2016米兰设计周期间，为瑞士品牌Vitra推出了一套超常规家具设计。

在米兰设计周期间，4月4号到9号，1英寸系列将被展示在 Emeco展台上，位于家具展的20号馆展位E29。在米兰设计周亮相的其它作品包括：已故的日本设计师Shigeru Uchida的最后的家具收藏；俄勒冈州的的设计师 Erdem Selek开发的简约的螺丝刀；Nendo的硅树脂花瓶，灵感来自于水母。

Last year, he introduced his first industrially produced kitchen for Italian manufacturers Schiffini, and also unveiled a collection of super-normal furniture designed for Swiss brand Vitra during Milan design week 2016.
The 1 Inch collection will be displayed on the Emeco stand, Hall 20 Stand E29, at the Salone del Mobile from 4 to 9 April during Milan design week. Other products launching during Milan design week include the final furniture collection by the late Japanese designer Shigeru Uchida, a minimalist screwdriver set by Oregon-based designer Erdem Selek, and a series of jellyfish-inspired silicone vases by Nendo.
