In creating the Magis Officina High-Back Armchair & Ottoman, Roman & Erwan Bouroullec have shone a spotlight on traditional forging techniques, using the iron frame to create a powerful aesthetic, enhanced by tool marks which make each piece completely individual. The same design language is used across the lounge chair and ottoman, tying both pieces together. An eye-catching contrast is formed between the striking metal frame and expanded polyurethane cushions, providing both a stylish and highly comforting seat space for you to sit back, relax and unwind. Part of the Magis Officina collection.
Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec, the Breton-born brothers, are the stars of European design and the most promising industrial designers to have emerged from France since Philippe Starck in the 1980s.
A combination of romanticism and functionality runs throughout both brothers’ work. Like all truly talented designers, the Bouroullecs have defined a distinctive visual style, which Jasper Morrison (one of the designers they most admire) described as “thoughtful and disciplined, with a real spirit and poetry”.
