Jasper Morrison has collaborated with the Japanese retail company MUJI on a variety of products ranging from houseware to housing.[7][8] Additionally, Morrison curated the Super Normal exhibition with Japanese Designer Naoto Fukasawa in 2006, which presented 200 ordinary or anonymously designed products that were devoid of gimmicks and branding.[9] Morrison is the lead designer at boutique Swiss consumer technology company Punkt., known for its minimalist MP01 and MP02 mobile phones.[10]

In a review of Morrison's 2015 exhibition Thingness at Le Grand-Hornu, the design critic Alice Rawsthorn writes: "Mr. Morrison, 55, is one of the most influential product designers of our time."[2]

Morrison was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the UK 2020 Birthday Honours for services to design.[11]
