360° Stool High stool by Magis

360° is neither a stool nor a chair, but something inbetween. Its name implies that it swivels around and that one can sit on it in all directions. It is meant for seated activities that require a constantly changing posture. 360° is not intended for long stints of work in a static position. Instead it encourages a form of dynamic sitting, short term, ad hoc, improvised - moving around. 360° comes in two types, as a chair on castors and as a high stool. Both versions have a gas piston for height adjustment.

Detailed color: Black

Magis embraces its identity though a heterogeneous company catalogue based on leading edge technology that incorporates mass production. Since 1976 this Italian newcomer in the furniture business, founded by Eugenio Perazza, has become a giant design laboratory that entrusts creative international designers to carry out diversified production through the flexibility that comes from an emphasis on R&D within a “factory free” framework.  The Air-chair by Jasper Morrison is one such example, while Konstantin Grcic’s Stool and Jerszy Seymour’s debut on the industrial design scene with the Easy Chair are among others.
