Description
Archetyp Lounge is a functional, simple and straightforward lounge chair. The dimensions and shapes give an idea of a chair pared to the bare minimum with subtle refinement. The upholstered seat and back give good support for long-term seating. Archetyp is totally new, and at the same time familiar to the eye.
“In updating this well-known archetype of upholstered armchair with wooden frame, we’ve tried to lighten the structure and give it the appearance of something both familiar and simultaneously fresh and of its time. Nikari’s reputation for faultless craftsmanship allows the design to transcend ordinary everyday character, giving the design the edge it needs to perform in well-thought architectural surroundings.”

Designer
Jasper Morrison
UK, 1959
“My grandfather had decorated one room of his house in the Scandinavian style of the ‘60s—bare floors, long-haired white rugs—and in it was a Braun record player with wooden side panels. I was impressed by the room and the record player.” – Jasper Morrison
Jasper Morrison was born in London in 1959. He studied at the Kingston School of Art and the Royal College of Art, graduating in 1985. Since 1986 he has opened his Office for Design in London.
Jasper Morrison became a leading figure of “New Simplicity,” a movement that advocated a more modest and also more serious approach to design. In addition to furniture, he has also created lamps, home accessories, textiles, a tram system for the city of Hanover, Germany and a bus shelter for the Vitra Campus in Weil am Rhein.
Recent projects include the design of the furniture for the Tate Modern in London, the Folding Air-Chair and Low Air-Table for Magis, flatware, glassware and other home accessories for Alessi, the Flos Glo-Ball lighting series and furniture for Vitra.
Jasper Morrison Ltd. is currently based in London and Paris.
