Magis

Magis is an Italian design company founded in 1976 by Eugenio Perazza, who started from Motta di Livenza in the Veneto with the aim of using industrial production and material experimentation to offer something more than the ordinary – the Latin meaning of the company’s name.

That programme produced a run of pieces that became references: Jasper Morrison’s Bottle rack in 1994, now in the collections of MoMA and the Victoria & Albert Museum, Stefano Giovannoni’s Bombo stool in 1997, and Morrison’s Air-Chair, among the first single-piece gas-injected polypropylene chairs. Magis still works with international designers on furniture for indoor and outdoor use, alongside a contract division.
