imm cologne 2008: bouroullec brothers: ”

the steelwood chair, produced by magis and designed by the bouroullec brothers is a radical assemblage of two traditional materials: steel and wood. unlike its plastic siblings, it is aimed to become more delicate through time,
acquiring a patina over uses and years. the steel forming process required deep technological research due to
the unique and intricate form. it led to the final process which requires almost ten successive stamping stages in
order to get the right curvature.
