Forging, the process used to shape iron, pressing it between the hammer and anvil, has a history that stretches back over millennia. Throughout the ages, this technique has been used to create an infinite number of everyday objects and decorative artefacts. The Officina collection explores the possibility of establishing a new creative language while working with an ancient fabrication process such as iron forging.

Profile
A story of ideas, creativity and experimentation. Since 1976. This is the know-how that Magis brings to the world of design.
Established in Northern Italy as a family business, the ingenuity of the visionary Eugenio Perazza soon led it to become a great design laboratory for home, outdoor, office and contract furniture, and a global player in the design field.
EXPERIMENTING… MORE
Magis is a Latin word meaning “more“. And this is precisely the origin of the propulsive drive for experimentation. To be and do more.
Magis has always believed in young and emerging talents, and over the years, the company has grown and experimented alongside many of them, now famous on the international scene. Jasper Morrison, Konstantin Grcic, Philippe Starck, Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec and Jerszy Seymour are just some of the designers who are part of the Magis family.
INNOVATING
A concrete view of design, unafraid to dare. Because the drive towards ever new ideas, codes and production systems leads this company towards an uncompromising design that will last over time and create not only industrial projects with an artisanal soul, but also positive relationships with employees, customers and partners.
The focus is on design, the choice of materials, technologies and production processes, which are different for each project and product. With one eye toward the past, which Magis loves to draw upon, and one on a new, sustainable and timeless future.
An eclectic, versatile design that graces homes, public spaces and the permanent exhibitions of more than 35 museums around the world, and has won close to a hundred extremely prestigious accolades, including five Compasso d’Oro awards, the oldest and most authoritative worldwide design award.
