Magis: industrial design, made to last

Founded near Venice in 1976, Magis built its name on a simple idea: bring industrial-quality manufacturing — die-cast metal, injection-moulded polymer, real engineering — to furniture and objects designed by the best in the world.

The premise cuts against a common assumption that industry and design pull in opposite directions. At Magis they are the same gesture: the ambition of the drawing is only as good as the factory that can realise it.

A who's-who of problems solved

The range is a who's-who. Ronan Bouroullec's Riace casts a whole sofa frame in tumbled white bronze. Konstantin Grcic's 360° turns storage into a thing that spins on its axis. Naoto Fukasawa's Tempo reduces a wall clock to the icon in your head. Different problems, the same rigour.

Engineering you can live with — that's the whole Magis idea.

Each is really a manufacturing answer dressed as an everyday object. The design you notice is downstream of a production process most buyers never see — which is exactly how the house prefers it.

Original, and specified

Every Magis piece we carry comes with the house's own product sheet and specifications, so you know exactly what you're buying, and that it's the original article — made to outlast the room it arrives in.

That paper trail is not bureaucracy. With designs this widely copied, the specification is the line between the original object and a lookalike that shares its silhouette and nothing else.

Made to outlast the room

The through-line, across five decades and dozens of designers, is durability treated as a design value rather than a marketing one. A Magis piece is engineered to still be working long after its moment has passed.

For a buyer that is the quiet promise underneath the famous names: not just a good-looking object, but one built to keep being good.
