Jasper Morrison was born in London in 1959. He was educated in design at Kingston Polytechnic College and later at the Royal College of Art and the Academy of Fine Arts in Berlin. After completing his studies, Jasper Morrison set up his own design studio in London in 1986, where he established himself through two installations, the Reuters News Center at Documenta 8 in Kassel and Some New Items for the Home, Part I, at the DAAD Gallery in Berlin.

His work is exhibited in several museums around the world, including the Axis Gallery in Tokyo and the Musée des Arts Décoratifs Bordeaux. Morrison has also curated "Danish Design, I Like it" at the Design Museum in Copenhagen.

Early in his career, Morrison collaborated with prestigious design brands such as Cappellini, FSB, Aram and Vitra. Together with Andreas Brandolini and Axel Kufus, he formed Utilism International in 1989 to provide exhibition design and urban planning products. In 1994, Morrison worked as a consultant for the Hanover Transport Authority, which had commissioned him to design and develop the city's bus shelters and trolleys.

After the turn of the millennium, Jasper Morrison joined several technical collaborations. He was commissioned to design a range of refrigeration equipment for Rowenta and also began collaborations with Samsung and Muji. Today he is creative director of the Swiss electronics company Punkt, and has offices in London, Tokyo and Paris. Morrison has been a Royal Designer for Industry since 2001.
