From Jasper Morrison, very close to Magis since 1993, author of Bottle and Air-Chair, comes the Pipe collection, a series aimed at the contract market and made up of chairs, stools and tables.

I shouldn’t say this, but when Jasper showed me the first sketches of the collection, I was a bit perplexed – the chair’s conformation did not convince me; it seemed too related to a Thonet archetype.

But I kept my mouth shut.
No comments should be made to Masters on the job. They need to be left to their thoughts and given patience.
And the result arrived, first the drawing, then the prototype… and lo and behold, the chair displayed Jasper’s signature physiognomy and character, unmistakable, and with the kind of quality and grace that are very rare these days.

There was no reason to doubt this.
