Voido Rocking chair - Lacquered version by Magis

"We love the new version ''glossy white'' of the famous Rocking chair Voido. Originally conceived in blow moulding, Voido was presented at the 2005 Furniture Fair in a ""mould testing"" phase under which it suffered greatly. Underestimated by Magis and Arad alike, the latter of whom jokingly wrote on the prototype, ""This is not rotation moulding! First attempt in big scale blow moulding. Almost there!"" But not a thing could be done to alleviate the technical suffering, as trial after trial made evident. So the Voidoblow moulding combination was given up in exchange for rotational moulding that features new and decidedly superior aesthetics. Now Voido is ready for the market. A sculpture by Ron Arad."

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.
