Jason Moran receives Spring as portable piano chair.
The American piano player, Jason Moran, always brings his own chair on tour. It isn’t any chair, but the Spring chair in red from KVIST/designed by Susanne Fossgreen that has become Jason Moran’s trademark and a permanent part of his gearbox.
The 28 year old piano player, composer and jazz artist has been announced "rising star" of the year by the magazine Down Beat and is a great admirer of Danish design. He loves the design and comfort of Spring.
This year in August Jason Moran wrote to KVIST, asking for a portable version of the Spring chair, which would be easier to bring along on tours.
KVIST faced the challenge and now Susanne Fossgreen and her husband are building a special version of the chair and a flight case for Jason Moran. The chair is expected ready in the beginning of 2004.
Jason Moran is currently on his European tour and will visit the UK and Ireland in November 2003 along with his bellowed Spring chair.
