Magis_Magis Proust

From 1978 onwards, the “Proust armchair” by Alessandro Mendinwas produced in many versions, using different colours, materials and dimensions, and was even made of ceramics and bronze. It travelled all around the world and was hosted in many museums. In 2011 thanks to Magis this armchair has been transformed into an industrial rotational-moulded piece. The new armchair “Magis Proust” was born.

This gem of technology and production brings new energy in its colours and atmospheres, making it a truly timeless object.
