L'Opinione dell'Arredatore
Le sue forme semplici, sinuose e discrete ricordano la tipica seduta portoghese realizzata in ferro tubolare piegato, a cui molti maestri dell'architettura moderna si sono ispirati. La realizzazione della seduta è nata da una serrata collaborazione tra il designer Jasper Morrison, concretizzatasi in diversi anni di lavoro e progettazione per ottenere il prototipo.
Air Armchair arricchisce la già nutrita serie di arredi Air Family, nata nel 2000, contraddistinta da un materiale stabile e non degradabile: il polipropilene.
Leggera, facilmente trasportabile e impilabile, si adatta sia in un contesto domestico che in outdoor.

Jasper Morrison
Jasper Morrison (London, 1959) is a true talent in the industrial design field. His style is at the same time simple and straightforward, expressed by an essential language that goes beyond the fashion trend of the moment and that relies mostly on the usefulness of the object. His designs, of a timeless beauty, are often inspired by traditions that he interprets with the support of new technologies and new materials, in an ethical design logic.His recent works included the project of a tram for the Hannover light train service during the Expo in 2000, for which he won the IF Transportation Design Prize and the Ecology Award. He also worked on the furniture project of the Tate Modern Gallery in London and on the chairs for the La Tourette Monastry by Le Corbusier. The Jasper Morrison Ltd. studio has two offices; one in London and one in Paris, and it collaborates with companies such as Alessi, Vitra, Cappellini, Magis, Flos, Sony and Samsung.
The Venetian company was born in 1976 and in few years it astonished the market with original furniture pieces, up-to-date materials and innovative techniques.
1984 is the year of Step ladder. Initially it was completely ignored by the design field judged not worthy of a furniture store; in the following years this judgement turned out to be completely wrong since Magis sold a million copies of this ladder becoming one of their most acclaimed classic piece coming with a design which has been copied worldwide by top manufacturing companies.
The 90s welcomed new famous co-workers such as the designer Jasper Morrison, who created classic iconic products which appear now inside museums such as MoMa, New York. Lyra stools and Bombo, the extraordinary success of Stefano Giovannoni, were created during those years. From this moment on, the multiple Magis achievements brought them to display their own products in the most famous contemporary art museums: London, Hamburg, New York.
Since 2000, the year of Air-Chair designed by Morrison, Magis has been producing furniture items made of plastic or recyclable / recycling materials and using techniques such as gas injection or rotational moulding. In 2004 Me Too collection was born, a collection designed for children from 2 to 6 years. Many of these products won and still win several internation prizes such as Compasso d'Oro in 2011 for Steelwood Chair, a project by Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec.
