Curvy Chair

Product Desing, Ergonomics, Italian Design.

With Marta Monrós, Lorenzo Pedini, Ingrid Edge Tørres, Martina Tong and Yitong Wang.

Built in curved oak, hence the name that refers to its shape, Curvy stands out for its versatility, ergonomics, shape and beauty. Its ability to adapt to different occasions, thanks to the movement of its backrest and its lightness, make it unique among Magis products. The organic shapes of its arms, legs and seat adapt perfectly to the seated person, providing maximum comfort.

From the beginning we wanted to design a chair that would be able to be used in different contexts. To achieve this versatility, the studio decided that the chair had to change shape depending on the use that is given.

The chair interacts with those who use it, depending on how the person sits on it. This interaction is capable thanks to the movement of the backrest created by the weight of the person sitting; when the person wants to sit more straight, the angle of the backrest is smaller. When the person wants to be relaxed, the angle is bigger. The movement occurs thanks to a mechanism created by a system of hinges and rails.
