magis pipe arm chair two pack

Design Jasper Morrison, 2009
Aluminum tube, aluminum plate
Made in Italy by Magis

The Pipe Chair has an aluminium structure and an option of an aluminum seat and back with holes for outdoor use or high-pressure resinated plywood for indoors or light outdoor use. There's an armchair and a side chair version. The tooling for the chair is remarkable, with a variety of state-of-the-art bending machines controlling the tubes' 3-D profiles. It's beautifully made and probably one of the strongest chairs ever built as I chose a large-diameter tube and the structure (especially the armchair) is very rigid. It stacks like a French café chair on the X under the seat, allowing four or five in a stack before it gets too high.

The Pipe chair is also available as a side chair. It features an aluminum tube painted in polyester powder. Seat and back in punched aluminum plate painted in polyester powder. Beech chairs have a solid seat & back. Only painted aluminum chairs are suitable for outdoor use. Sold in sets of two chair with the same finish.

Jasper Morrison

Jasper Morrison (b. 1959) is an English product and furniture designer from London. He received a Bachelor of Design degree from Kingston Polytechnic Design School in 1982 and a Masters degree in Design from the Royal College of Art, London, in 1985. He also studied at the Berlin University of the Arts, formerly the Hochschule der Künste (HdK). While a student, he gained a keen interest in modernist pioneers, such as Buckminster Fuller, Gerald Summers, Jean Prouvé and Le Corbusier. Morrison's objects provide a quiet contrast to the creative exuberance of the Eighties. The visual restraint, high functionalism and constructive simplicity attract attention to his work.

The Magis company was founded in 1976 and had their first success in 1984 with Stepladder that was influential and crossed over into the designer furniture market from the hardware stores. They had two more huge successes in 1994 with Jasper Morrisons Bottleand the Lyra stool from the Italia Group, their bestseller. Two years later, the Bombo stool designed by Stefano Giovannoni would gain enormous success and cultivate an imitable style. Once the company gained momentum, they never slowed and would go on to produce Jasper Morrisons technologically advanced Air-Chair Michael Youngs Dog House Konstantin Grcics Chair One the Me Too line of childrens objects and furniture, and the Striped family from the Bouroullec brothers.
