Magis has added a stool designed by Enzo Mari to its Mariolina collection. It repeats the form, construction and materials of his chair of the same name, with longer legs. Stackable and lightweight thanks to its slender tubular-steel frame, the stool is suited to both homes and commercial interiors.
A chair conceived as a model of simplicity
Enzo Mari designed the Mariolina chair in the early 2000s. He wanted it to be as simple as possible, almost self-evident, and conceived it as a model to follow. His approach went against the prevailing taste for designs laden with decoration and technology, drawing instead on lightweight seating from the 1950s. The chair looks simple, but its details are carefully resolved. Today, Mariolina is one of the more recognisable seating families in the Magis range.
Tubular steel and two heights
The stool has a slender tubular-steel frame, with a polypropylene seat and backrest attached by moulded ribs. It comes in the same finishes as the chair and in two heights, 66 and 76 centimetres. A generous backrest provides comfort. The taller seat extends the Mariolina family while retaining the character of the chair with which it began.
Choosing a stool that works with the other furniture and combines a simple form with comfort can be harder than it seems. An interior designer can help. Find architects, interior designers and interior photographers in the PLNDesign directory.
