Alessi JM06 Socrates Corkscrew
“Socrates” de Jasper Morrison, un tire-bouchon qui se fixe comme but la recherche de la forme archétype de l'objet, est une allusion ironique à la maïeutique du philosophe athénien, à savoir l'art de tirer les bonnes réponses de son interlocuteur.
“Socrates” by Jasper Morrison is a corkscrew that seeks to achieve the object's archetypal form, and is a humorous allusion to the "Socratic method", i.e. the Athenian philosopher's art of extracting the right answers from the person you're dealing with.

Jasper Morrison
UK, 1959
“My grandfather had decorated one room of his house in the Scandinavian style of the ‘60s—bare floors, long-haired white rugs—and in it was a Braun record player with wooden side panels. I was impressed by the room and the record player.” – Jasper Morrison
Jasper Morrison was born in London in 1959. He studied at the Kingston School of Art and the Royal College of Art, graduating in 1985. Since 1986 he has opened his Office for Design in London.
Jasper Morrison became a leading figure of “New Simplicity,” a movement that advocated a more modest and also more serious approach to design. In addition to furniture, he has also created lamps, home accessories, textiles, a tram system for the city of Hanover, Germany and a bus shelter for the Vitra Campus in Weil am Rhein.
Recent projects include the design of the furniture for the Tate Modern in London, the Folding Air-Chair and Low Air-Table for Magis, flatware, glassware and other home accessories for Alessi, the Flos Glo-Ball lighting series and furniture for Vitra.
Jasper Morrison Ltd. is currently based in London and Paris.
