First Chair – Magis

*Price is in euros and contains VAT and transport anywhere in Romania.

After Air-Chair, the first seat to use air- moulding technology, the chair First breaks new ground in this technology once again (hence its name). The empty frame is used not only for volumes with a small, tubular cross-section, but also for the wider and more complex volumes of the entire seat and back. This makes it possible to create a more organic, three-dimensional form, without the visible tubular structures seen in other chairs.
