Orla
Made by Cappellini
Designed by Jasper Morrison
Jasper Morrison's Orla collection for Cappellini sits at the intersection of restraint and warmth. The silhouette is immediately legible: slender shells that curve with quiet intention, cradling cushions of exceptional depth and softness. The result is a piece that reads as spare without feeling austere.
Morrison's design sensibility has long favored the ordinary made extraordinary through proportion and precision. Orla reflects that philosophy without announcing it. The form is neither nostalgic nor aggressively contemporary, occupying a space that feels considered rather than styled.
