Underpinned by his principle that 'objects should not shout,' Morrison's designs are defined by beguiling simplicity,read more Revised and extended version of the 2015/2017 edition "...a tribute to the beauty of complex simplicity...to a definition of design as a careful observation of the world - and to an ethic grounded in respect." - Domus "This book fully conveys Morrison's philosophy, including his sensitivity to space, his approach to objects, his design process, and his aesthetic sense." - Axis (translated from Japanese) "A Book of Things provides intriguing insights into his evolution as a designer (...) The design qualities he prizes are evident in the recurring words in the texts: 'comfort,' 'character,' 'functional,' 'efficient,' 'economical,' 'practical' and 'no-nonsense.'" - New York Times
