Design Story

Design

The Vitra chair HAL Wood originates from the HAL chairs collection with which designer Jasper Morrison reinterpreted the classic shell chair. Created according to Jasper Morrison's position that "Special is generally less useful than normal" the HAL Wood is an excellent example of an everyday product defined by good, functional design. And that the stressed "normality" of the Vitra chair is anything other than boring, is thanks to the playful elegance with which Jasper Morrison has brought the functional necessity into form. Suitable for both the private or public sector, the Vitra HAL collection offers numerous applications, including as the classical kitchen chair, the general purpose shell chair as embodied by example the HAL Wood Cantilever or as bar stool and armchair. Aesthetic and practical: The HAL collection is contemporary and timeless.

Designer

As one of the most successful product and furniture designers of the last decades, Jasper Morrison has created a design language which dominates the private and public spaces of our time. That it does so almost imperceptibly, is thanks to Morrison's appreciation of the concept of the "super normal". Expediency and understatement are the maxims, which have underscored Morrison's work since his graduation from London Royal College of Art in 1985. In cooperation with Vitra Jasper Morrison has created numerous products and product families such as the All Plastic Chair, the Soft Modular Sofa and the Vitra HAL collection. In addition Morrison's simple, yet alluring designs, can be found in all important global collections, including the New York Museum of Modern Art, MoMA.

The HAL Wood is one of several modern Vitra designs.

The Vitra HAL collection

Production

The chairs of the Vitra HAL collection consist of organically shaped seat shells, mounted on a frame. The Vitra chair HAL Wood deftly highlights the combination of wooden frame in light oak and polypropylene seat shell. The shell is available in various colours, in addition to the classic basic dark and white Vitra offer the HAL Wood in fresh tones such as "ice grey" or "ivy". The HAL Wood exemplifies Vitra's focus on durable, environmentally friendly products: aside from the trend independent design which suggests a durable long-lasting product, the quality of most materials used in the HAL series are 100% recyclable - even the polypropylene used in the seat. In addition, the Swiss furniture manufacturer work according to certified quality and environmental management systems aimed at reducing in the consumption of energy, raw materials and other resources.

Jasper Morrison designed the HAL Wood for Vitra. And a great may other pieces beside.

Passenger Terminal Expo 2016 Cologne: Vitra

...Although presenting no new bench concepts per se at Passenger Terminal Cologne Vitra are presenting a new addition to their bench programme: the HAL bench featuring, unsurprisingly, the HAL seat shell by Jasper Morrison... Intended primarily as a solution for locations where space is at a premium, such as, for example, smaller regional airports, in comparison to the majority of other airport benches the HAL bench is leaner, slender, a more compact, less voluminous affair which exudes an uncomplicated elegance...
