Magis was awarded this year with the prestigious Compasso D'Oro, which is given to the best Italian design products based on quality and value. Magis received the Compasso d'Oro for Steelwood Chair, whose project was developed by the stars of French design Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec. Steelwood is an elegant chair with a classic shape displaying a single combination of two traditional materials: wood and steel plate. At the same time Steelwood is also a high-tech chair since the steel plate back is the result of nine stages of manufacturing , folding and bending of the plate itself.
Magis received also a nomination for the Piggyback Table, designed by the young and brilliant English designer Thomas Heatherwick.
