Declaring “the end of the dictatorship of plastic”, Chair_One marks a new direction for Magis. Swivel chair with self-returning mechanism and seat in die-cast aluminum that has been treated with sputtered fluorinated titanium and painted in polyester powder. The concrete base is painted transparent clear. Chair_One is flame retardant and suitable for outdoor use. Available in Red, White or Anthracite.

Designed by Ken Okuyama for Tendo Co., Ltd., the Orizuru chair was inspired by origami paper cranes. The chair won a product design Red Dot award for 2010.

Graphic designer Roeland Otten (who has a killer website btw) had an idea back when he was in school at Design Academy Eindhoven: to make communicative seating. Almost 10 years later, he’s finally fulfilled this dream with help from Fonds BKVB and Materiaalfonds. This prototype alphabet of chairs and stools consists of all 26 letters made from lacquered MDF. Right now, they’re being produced one-off as limited editions, but we hope he’ll find a manufacturer soon to make plastic versions.
