The new Traffic collection, presented at the last Salone del Mobile, designed by the German designer Konstantin Grcic, is now available.
Traffic is the first Magis collection of furniture using upholstery. The company is moving in new directions in order to expand its catalogue. The new family of products comprises an armchair, a two-seater sofa, two benches, a chaise longue and a platform.
Konstantin Grcic proposes a creation in line with the spirit of the contemporary concepts of the brand:” The correlation between the three-dimensional line drawing of the metal rod and the geometric volumes of the cushions marks a significant shift from the common connotation of wire furniture. The unassuming simplicity of its conception impart a pleasant casualness. The refinements of detailing and carefully tailored proportions stimulate a resounding elegance.”
According to Eugenio Perazza, president and founder of Magis, the collection can be defined “as the great challenge that Magis has set itself: to employ one of the most humble materials on the market that is wire and to try, through this, to obtain objects with a certain aesthetic quality. It is a set of various elements conceived as simple rod cages in which the cushions for the seat, backrest and armrests are easily accommodated.
ALL ABOUT THE TRAFFIC COLLECTION
A two-seater sofa, an armchair, a chaise longue, two benches and a platform: numerous objects that allow cross-application, both for contract and for the living area. Each of these pieces is composed of a tubular three-dimensional metallic frame accompanied by cushions characterized by simple graphic lines. The structure is available in seven bright colours and the cushions are available in a wide range of Kvadrat fabrics and leather. There is also a tablet designed to support the user in his work (tablet, PC) or just for reading.
