MAGIS chair BISHOP (Black brown - Polyester painted steel sheet)

Iconic design: discover the Bishop chair by Magis and Konstantin Grcic

The Bishopchair is a masterpiece that defines space through its imposing presence and undeniable elegance. A guarantee of design excellence, it was created for Magis, the historic Italian brand, by the Master Konstantin Grcic. Bishop is not just a seat but a statement of style that combines formal rigour, engineering innovation, and an audacious use of materials.

The essence of design: stability and elegance

The armless Bishop chair stands out for its vertical posture, which immediately conveys a sense of strength and stability. Its design is pure and almost archetypal: four legs, a seat, and a backrest. This formal simplicity is the result of a meticulous attention to detail, typical of Grcic's creative approach. Bishop embodies the creative acuity of its designer and the visionary spirit of Magis.

Innovation in material: steel at the center

What makes Bishop unique is the choice of material: very thin steel sheet. Although steel is not a common material for chairs, its elasticity, malleability, and precision offer enormous design potential. The entire structure is laser-cut, bent, and welded to form a solid and durable composition. The glossy finish enhances the project's clean geometry, enveloping Bishop in a subtle aura of light. Konstantin Grcic himself expressed the desire to create a chair that would be instantly recognizable, but which would also clearly reveal the details of its material and its production process. The Bishop chair is a product that ages gracefully, developing a natural patina that maintains its appeal over time, a result of bold and timeless design.

Details and maintenance

The Bishop chair is made of steel sheet painted with polyester powder. A magnetic natural leather cushion is available as an accessory for the seat, designed to increase comfort. To maintain the product's original appearance over time, periodic maintenance is recommended. The chair can be cleaned with a soft cloth, dry or damp, using a pH-neutral soap diluted in water, avoiding abrasive sponges or acidic products, solvents, or those containing ammonia. For the leather cushion, regular cleaning with a soft, dry cloth is recommended, using, if necessary, products specifically formulated for leather, drying immediately after treatment and avoiding direct exposure to sunlight or heat sources. By purchasing Bishop, you choose a piece of design that transcends functionality, introducing an iconic piece of furniture into your home or office, resulting from the collaboration between Magisand a world-renowned designer.
