Magis Design Cyborg Armchair
CYBORG ARMCHAIR
CYBORG ARMCHAIR
Designed by Marcel Wanders & Gabriele Chiave (Marcel Wanders Studio, 2011)
The design of the Cyborg armchair is based on an industrial part consisting of the four very simple plastic legs, almost basic, deliberately “non-designed” and on an artisanal “designed” part, the backrest, which can be made of wicker, polycarbonate, solid wood or upholstered with covers in fine fabrics or in leather.
And tomorrow it could be made of other materials. It is precisely the backrest that dictates the chair’s expressive and aesthetic quality. Therefore, a never-ending design story.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS
For the plastic parts we recommend using a soft rag, either dry or wet. When needed, use ph-balanced soap diluted in water. For wicker parts we recommend using a soft brush or a wet chamois leather.
Small irregularities which might be visible on the surface and colours changes in time, should not be considered as faults, but on the contrary as results of the material nature. For the wooden part we recommend using cleaning products specifics for wood. Do not use abrasive sponges as they may leave scratches.
FOR THE UPHOLSTERED VERSIONS
Daily care and immediate stain removal will ensure that your wool upholstery will keep looking good. It is normally sufficient to regularly vacuum and air upholstered armchair. We suggest cleaning the wool fabric occasionally. Use a specific wool cleaning soap and follow the instructions carefully.
Take care never to saturate the wool fabric. Never use undiluted cleaning agents, bleaching agents, ammonia or soap intended for hard surfaces. As a general rule, many types of stain can be removed using lukewarm water.
For greasy stains, use a dry stain remover. For more insoluble stains (chewing gum, candle wax, etc.), use a plastic bag filled with ice to rub the stain until the substance has become friable. Use a clean flat blunt blade to delicately remove the substance. Be careful when using solvents, because these could dissolve the upholstery material beneath.
