or Call to Order

The inspi­ra­tion for the O‑Cap armchair emerged from the intu­ition to cut and shape a simple sheet of leather around a chair. A tech­no­log­i­cal evolu­tion of the 2013 Cap-Chair, the O‑Cap armchair by Jasper Morri­son recon­firms the extra­or­di­nary complex­ity of the manu­fac­tur­ing process. For this edition, O‑Cap offers a shell in raw cut leather: a detail that offers support and soft­ness to this new armchair’s inter­nal struc­ture, which is made of metal and reduced to the minimum to offer both optimal stabil­ity and maximum light­ness.

The aluminum base, also reduced to the essen­tial, is avail­able as four spokes with caps or five spokes with or without wheels. Envi­sioned for the office and lounge areas, the O‑Cap armchair is also readily suit­able for residential use.
