DESIGN NOW: MAGIS INDOOR-OUTDOOR FURNITURE — April 16 - June 12, 2008
The Design Gallery exhibits designs by Magis, one of the biggest names in modern design known for pushing both
technological and design boundaries to create refreshing and functional modern furnishings. The Italian company Magis is one
step ahead of the present, already focused on the near future. Their collaboration represents a manifest result of wide-open
and multi layered design visions. Quality driven and priced accessibly, their products portray sophisticated industrial and
architectural techniques combined with user friendliness and familiarity.
Magis is the brand that has given a novel twist to domestic design, building its identity on incorporating leading edge
technology into mass production. Founded in 1976 in the bustling north eastern corner of Italy by a newcomer to the furniture business, Eugenio Perazza,
Magis is today a giant international design laboratory that constantly puts itself to the test, seeking technological
sophistication and employing a highly diversified workforce.
Magis seizes the day. It embraces the creativity of leading global designers (Richard Sapper, Jasper Morrison, Stefano
Giovannoni, Marc Newson, James Irvine, Konstantin Grcic, Ron Arad, the Bouroullecs and many others)and channels it towards
objects perched on the cutting edge.
