Dear design lovers,

Welcome back to my blog page - a window dedicated to great design pieces for home, office, and public spaces! Ready for some new inspiration?

I’m excited to share one of the releases from 2024 in the world of design, a Masterpiece of innovation and sustainability, the IN-SIDE sittings, proposed as a 2-seat sofa, an armchair, and a bench. This collection is made in Italy by MAGIS www.magisdesign.com, which brings out the beauty and texture of the material to enjoy in outdoor living spaces.

The author, the Arch. Thomas Heatherwick is an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects; a Senior Research Fellow at the Victoria & Albert Museum; and has been awarded Honorary Doctorates from several outstanding institutions, such as the Royal College of Art, University of Dundee, University of Brighton, Sheffield Hallam University and University of Manchester. Moreover, in 2013 Thomas was awarded a CBE for his services to the design industry.

Made from a unique blend of post-consumer and post-industrial recycled polyethylene, this ergonomic collection is a true manifesto of innovation and creativity! Thanks to rotational molding technology, the material reveals a fascinating internal surface with a multicolored pattern, that makes each piece so unique and authentic.

The name “In-Side” suggests a focus on an enveloping shape, designed to cradle the sitter with comfortable ergonomics, a simple geometry blended with distinctive curves. Moreover, it is durable enough for outdoor use and easy to clean. Moreover, the collection is offering their pieces in a pastel color palette in addition to classic neutrals (here in white, sage, and terracotta), allowing for a range of aesthetics.
