Iron forging, the process used to shape this metal, pressing it between the hammer andanvil, has a story that stretches back over millennia. Throughout history, this technique has been used to create an infinite number of everyday objects and decorative artefacts.The Officina collection of tables explores the possibility of establishing a new creative language while working with an ancient fabrication process: a further step in the long partnership between Magis and the French designers Ronan and Erwan Bourollec,which began fifteen years ago and has provided a rich series of successful designs.
For the Officina collection, building on thiswealth of shared research and experience, asystem of forged iron legs was created, withan original geometry suitable to supporttops of different dimensions and materials:steel, wood, glass, and so on. The absolutesimplicity of the minimalist design combineswith the allure of a raw material handeddown through the centuries, alive, with thoseslight imperfections that make each piece inthis collection unique, with an unmistakablyindustrial feel, but combined with aprofoundly refined and elegant spirit.
