The Simplon Table, designed by Jasper Morrison in 2003 for Cappellini, is a collection of tables and coffee tables characterized by light and essential lines. The base is made of anodized aluminum, while the top in poplar plywood coupled with aluminum is available in glossy or matt lacquered finishes, as well as in natural or black stained oak. For the low tables, the top is also available in the elegant variants of white Carrara marble or gray Roma marble.

Jasper Morrison
Jasper Morrison is an English industrial designer, born in London in 1959. He graduated from Kingston Polytechnic Design School and continued his studies at the Royal Collage of Art and the Hochschule der Künst in Berlin. In 1986 he opened his studio in London, where he designed design objects that fit perfectly into everyday environments. Together with his colleague Naoto Fukasawa he coined the term "super-normal", the name of the exhibition he set up in Japan in 2006, to indicate what good design should be: sober, useful and responsible.
