"What feeds the inspiration of the designer? Observation. In Jasper Morrison's collection of pictures, the icons of design history meet up with the unassuming objects of everyday life. Every picture tells a story and creates a new one in juxtaposition with its neighbor -- without words, in the language of form.
Morrison responds to the arbitrariness of form with simplicity and complexity, poetry and humor in a repertoire of compelling designs. A World Without Words is a pocket-sized school of seeing that addresses designers and consumers who wish to explore the universe of goods.

Riassunto
Was nährt die Inspiration des Designers? Die Beobachtung. In Jasper Morrisons -Bilder-Sammlung treffen Ikonen der Designgeschichte auf unscheinbare Gegenstände des Alltags, kuriose Bildfunde auf Archetypen der Moderne. Jedes Bild erzählt eine Geschicht und schafft mit seinem Nachbarn eine neue – wortlos in der Sprache der Form. Der formalen Beliebigkeit hält Morrison Einfachheit und Komplexität, Poesie und Humor als Repertoir einer verbindlichen Gestaltung entgegen. Als Schule des Sehens richtet sich A World Without Words an Designer und Konsumenten, die sich in der Welt der Waren zurechtfinden wollen.
