Get ready for a unique collaboration that will take your outdoor adventures to the next level! A designer's dream team has come together to create a camping collection like no other.
Renowned British designer Jasper Morrison, known for his 'super normal' approach, has teamed up with the innovative design brand Hay to bring us the 'Outdoor Market' collection. With over 30 carefully crafted objects, this collaboration is a game-changer for camping enthusiasts and those who appreciate functional, stylish design.
But here's where it gets interesting: the collection draws inspiration from nautical stripes, a nod to Morrison's travels in Majorca and the Pyrenees. Imagine a camping trip with a touch of coastal charm!
Rolf Hay, co-founder of Hay, explains that the brand's collaboration with Morrison's London-based shop was a natural fit. The result? Foldable lounge chairs, a unique fish-shaped BBQ, and a tent-shaped canopy that will make your outdoor experiences truly memorable.
And this is the part most people miss: the collection's palette is a delightful mix of 'easy-going' red, blue, and white striped fabrics, stainless steel, and beech wood. It's a perfect blend of practicality and aesthetics.
But wait, there's more! A stainless steel bottle carrier and a foldable sofa that fits into a tote bag? Talk about convenience and style!
Morrison, with his straightforward design philosophy, found the challenge of designing mobile, utilitarian camping gear 'fascinating.' He highlights the constraints of outdoor equipment, emphasizing the need for practicality, foldability, and lightweight materials.
Both Hay and Morrison admit they're not avid outdoorsmen, but they envision their products being used for everyday outdoor activities, like a simple day at the park. And let's not forget the influence of the pandemic, which sparked a boom in outdoor activities and inspired a fusion of outdoor aesthetics with fashion and design.
This collaboration is a testament to the power of design and its ability to enhance our everyday experiences. Hay and Morrison's vision extends beyond camping, with plans to design more outdoor equipment in the future. So, get ready for more innovative designs that will make your outdoor adventures even more enjoyable!
