An icon of Italian design revisited by Alessandro Mendini for
Magis. Designed in 1978, this polyethylene armchair is a real technical feat considering its size and the complexity of its decorative embellishments. The designer had already been recognised for his fantastical universe world and his whimsical approach to design. The Regency-inspired Proust armchair has a strong and charismatic personality, reinterpreted here in a very modern material to accentuate the extravagant universe of its designer. Like a majestic throne with a baroque look, its colours and size invite themselves into your living room as well as your garden thanks to its weather-resistant material, infusing a humorous touch. Proust is the very symbol of "Re-Design", a concept dear to Mendini.
