Magis Official

Established in 1976 in the north east of Italy by Eugenio Perazza, Magis is now a prominent lodestar in the design world, whose success is based on the desire to provide a broad swathe of users with access to high functional and technological quality products, developed in partnership with major international designers, with a vision of the resulting products that is ethical and poetic as well as aesthetic. Konstantin Grcic, Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec, Jasper Morrison, Marc Newson, Ron Arad, Naoto Fukasawa, Marcel Wanders, Stefano Giovannoni, Philippe Starck, Zaha Hadid and Thomas Heatherwick are just some of the designers that have worked with Magis, creating a vast collection of pieces, each with its own story to tell and its own character to express, be it in domestic settings or collective spaces. Magis products received the most important accolades in the design area including three ADI Compasso d'Oro awards, respectively won for the Steelwood Chair designed by Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec in 2011, for the Trioli by Eero Aarnio in 2008 and in 2014 for Spun, the iconic rotating seat designed by Thomas Heatherwick. Magis products are dedicated to their international public (exports account for some 85% of production), and are all 100% "Made in Italy": a guarantee of high quality, in line with the firm's tradition, which has developed from its craftsmanship and cultural roots, through the evolving styles and industrial growth of the eighties and nineties, and continues to comprise one of the company's greatest and most valuable assets. In order to cooperate closely with foreign dealers, local and regional architects, designers, and other design interested people, Magis created two branches in Japan and Germany. The focus of the branches is also to increase the intensity of our relationships and to create new ones. MAGIS DESIGNS WITHOUT BOUNDARIES FROM AN ITALIAN COMPANY.
