MULTIFUNCTIONALITY
Bell Chair is made with versatility in mind and can be used indoors, outdoors, for commercial use, events, and many other se
MATERIAL
Bell Chair is available in four colours – Sunrise, High Noon, Midnight and Dawn. It is produced with recycled polypropylene, which is obtained from the waste generated by Magis’ own furniture production and from the local car industry. The patented material excludes almost all “virgin or new” materials and can be 100% recycled again after use. This way, Bell Chair forms an almost closed material cycle.
USE OF ENERGY
Made in the most responsible way, the Bell Chair production methods also abstain from wasteful energy practices, mostly by streamlining the process in a way that it takes miniscule time to manufacture the chair.
SMALL LOGISTICAL FOOTPRINT
The responsibility of the design does not end with the product itself. Magis developed a logistics concept for Bell Chair to save additional resources. This entails a specially-designed reusable delivery pallet, which can stack up to 24 chairs.
As a result, less packaging material is used, and the vertical stack reduces the footprint during transportation. At the same time the pallet doubles up as store display for retail partners and is made from the same recycled plastic as the chair.
