Designed by Jasper Morrison for the Flos brand, Oplight is a wall lamp with indirect light that is both discreet and elegant. It comprises a powder-coated die-cast aluminium body and a semi-transparent injection-moulded polycarbonate diffuser. The Oplight design wall light is equipped with a high-efficiency LED source with a lifespan of over 50,000 hours. At the end of its life cycle, the LED source can be easily replaced on site by a professional installer. Published by Flos, Oplight is an evolutionary lamp because no glue is used to assemble its various parts. The product can therefore be separated, replaced individually and recycled separately.
Born in London in 1959, Jasper Morrison studied at the Royal College of Art in London and continued his studies at the Berlin School of Fine Arts. In 1986, Jasper Morrison set up his own design studio in London. He attracted attention with the clear concepts of his installations "Reuters News Center" at documenta 8 in Kassel and "Some new items for the home" at the DAAD gallery in Berlin, which presented objects with highly refined lines in reaction to the formal exuberance of postmodernism. He became the pioneer of the "New Simplicity": a concept translated into a design imbued with simplicity and seriousness. His furniture creations include lamps, interior accessories and textiles, as well as a tramway for the city of Hanover and a bus stop for the Vitra site. Jasper Morrison adopts a rationalist approach to manufacturing processes and advocates an aesthetic devoid of superfluous details. This 'super normal' design has won over many manufacturers (Canon, Sony) and design brands such as Alessi, Flos (the Glo-Ball lamp), Cappellini (the surprising Thinking Man's Chair), SCP and Vitra, which gives a prominent place to its pieces in the Vitra Home range, including the Cork stools in natural cork.
