MAGIS AT THE TRIENNALE DESIGN MUSEUM EXHIBITION

One of our favourite brands at Oikos, Magis design company took part at the recent Triennale Design Museum exhibition in Milan. Architect Matteo Vercelloni designed “The New Species”, a metaphorical key to look like a caleidoscope image, portraying the company’s vitality and technological and creative development. At the center of the exposition space stands a circular platform that moves accompanied by background music, like a merry-go-round. The carousel features a totem made of stucked Spun elements, designed by Thomas Heatherwick, surrounded by some chairs and by other pieces of the Me Too collection. These are the new Magis species, meaning new types of product that Magis breeds by cross-polinating functionality with playfullness. On the three walls of the exposition space are a series of Déjà-Vu mirrors, which creates an infinite play of reflections. On the ceiling an illustration of symmetrical elements inside a kaleidoscope: these fragments are images of Magis’s most famous pieces.
