Design Philippe Starck, 2015
Die-cast aluminum, Tempered glass, rubber feet
Made in Italy by Magis
"Big Will is the story of a table, which wanted to leave. It said to itself: I can travel on my wheels. It did it or at least it tried doing like this, as it hasn't realized that it had only two wheels and therefore it could extend, with the great delight of its master who could only repeat: "when we are six, when we are eight." -Philippe Starck
Big Will tables mark a new chapter in a gripping story, in which the Magis philosophy and technology, with its friendly shapes and rigorous production, meets the creative spirit of Philippe Starck, design star of indisputable fame. Big Will's most striking and characterful features are its wheels - positioned at the extending end of the table - and the die-cast aluminum structure, which comes either in a glossy finish or painted white or black. The top is in glossy or acid- etched tempered glass, while the extension leaf is in glossy or matt finish MDF. The extending table can reach a maximum overall length of three metres. The table can be extended effortlessly, without needing to lift it, simply by gliding the extending end on the floor thanks to the two wheels, and to a patented sliding and locking mechanism developed especially for Big Will. Thus, this is an elegant, high-profile table, the fruit of several years of research to achieve that "more than" that Magis always seeks, as its very name reveals.
Big will features legs & crosspieces in die-cast aluminum either painted or polished. White & black frame tables include an etched, 0.4" thick tempered glass (matte) white or black top. Polished frame tables include 0.4" thick tempered glass (glossy) top. Extending tables include MDF laminate leaves painted either matte (black or white frame) or glossy (polished frame). Wheels and feet in rubber.

Philippe Starck
Subversive, ethical, ecological, political, humorous… this is how I see my duty as a designer. Philippe Starck believes that creation, whatever form it takes, must improve the lives of as many people as possible.
Magis believes a design must not only be good, it should also satisfy a criteria of aesthetic functionalism. Magis combines quality production with a design sensibility that preserves the tradition of Italian made craftsmanship.
