VIGNA STACKING CHAIR
Martino Gamper, 2011
Stacking chair. The steel rod chair Vigna for Magis is Martino Gamper’s first industrial design. Like a climbing plant, the swirl of twisting rod creates a structural feature support the chair leg as well as being a decorative element.
The seat is in bi-injection-moulded plastic, a technology that offers the possibility to obtain a seat in numerous two-tone colour combinations
Alongside the chair, we also developed the design for a number of tables: a round table with a central column of twisted steel rods, and one square four-legged table with the same climbing swirl feature seen on the chair legs.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS
We recommend using a soft rag, either dry or wet. When needed, use ph-balanced soap diluted in water. Do not use abrasive sponges as they may leave scratches. Avoid using acidic products, solvents and products containing ammonia. Periodic and correct maintenance allows the product to keep its original aspect and lengthens the duration of its performance.
