Magis Chair_One by Konstantin Grcic
Behind the name Magis is a company which has devoted itself entirely to the development of innovative designs - from the clever everyday accessories to the wide ranging seating families. In addition to having their own design department Magis regularly work with external designers, such as, and amongst others, Stefano Giovannoni, Jasper Morrison Konstantin Grcic or Pierre Paulin, Magis usually develops a piece of furniture over several years until it reaches the required standard and maturity. Particular highlights from the Magis portfolio include the Bombo bar stool, the Air Chair and the Chair_One. In context of the "Mee too" collection the company devotes all its design understanding to children from 2 to 6 years. The result is colourful, intelligent furniture and toys, which sometimes seem to be sculptural, but thanks to their imaginative implementation, always make children's hearts beat that little bit faster.
smow sells exclusively originals from licensed manufacturers and is an official trading partner of Magis.

Not good. For some reason which escapes us there are no tables in the press room. That's NO TABLES IN THE PRESS ROOM AT A FURNITURE TRADE SHOW. And to think we complained in Milan once when the beer in the press room fridge was too warm!!! Is there not a...
