The Magis Chair One with 4-Star Base from Konstantin Grcic combines stark modern aestheticism with modern manufacturing techniques to create a striking visual effect. The chair’s frame is constructed like that of a football, combining triangular sections of metal to create a three-dimensional shape. This is all achievable through the revolutionary use of die-casting, which allows Magis to achieve incredible precision in the design. The result is a chair that uses negative space to its advantage, creating a unique design that is destined to become a modern classic.
