17/06/2022 - A new archetype for chairs from a perspective of all-round sustainability. The Alpina chair by Magis is the new project signed by British designers Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby, a seat inspired by traditional Alpine furnishings revisited with natural and 100% recyclable materials.
In a video interview carried out by Archiproducts on the occasion of the Salone del Mobile 2022, Barber & Osgerby described the design phases of the Alpina chair.
Simple and clean, Alpina is the fourth project by Barber&Osgerby for Magis. Alpina celebrates their multidisciplinary approach, a penchant for experimentation and a desire to juxtapose clean lines and different materials. "As a designer we have the responsibility to produce objects that respect the environment ", explain Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby. "With this project we had the opportunity to explore Magis know-how in the processing of materials, developing a new chair that uses products waste, without waste".
Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby have created a new chair, reminiscent of an alpine stool, that is elegant and versatile, capable of adapting to both traditional and more contemporary environments. The new chair combines a solid ash wood frame (FSC certified) with an injection moulded backrest in bio-based polypropylene that derives fully from waste cooking oils. Fully recyclable.
Alpina is available in three variations: natural ash seat and legs with an olive green backrest, natural ash seat and legs with a beige backrest, black ash seat and legs with a black backrest. Suitable for both domestic and contract use.
